Ingredients
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon or spatula, until fully browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease from the skillet, especially if using fattier beef.
Reduce heat to medium. Add chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, dried oregano, onion powder, salt, black pepper, tomato sauce, and water to the skillet. Stir everything to combine thoroughly.
Cook the mixture, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes or until the taco meat is fully cooked through, thickened, and has reached your desired texture.
While the meat simmers, warm the tortillas using a skillet, microwave, or oven as preferred.
Spoon the seasoned meat mixture into each tortilla and add your chosen toppings such as shredded cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, avocado, guacamole, cilantro, and chopped red onion.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your fresh, flavorful tacos.
