These tacos are made with a deliciously seasoned ground beef filling, served in corn tortillas and finished with all the best toppings. They're likely to become a go-to weeknight dinner the whole family will enjoy, and you'll love how easy they are to prepare!
3/4cupcheddar cheese or shredded Mexican cheese blend
2Roma tomatoes or 1 cup grape tomatoes, diced
2cupsshredded romain or iceberg lettuce
Instructions
Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef in large chunks to skillet spacing apart. Season with salt and pepper.
Let brown on bottom, about 3 minutes then flip, break up beef and continue to cook until almost cooked through, about 2 minutes.
Add garlic, chili powder, cumin, onion powder and continue to cook until beef is just cooked through, about 1 minute.
Pour in chicken broth and tomato sauce. Simmer over medium-low heat until sauce has reduced and thickened, about 3 - 5 minutes.
Serve warm over warmed tortillas with lettuce, cheese, tomatoes and other desired toppings (see notes).
Notes
*In addition to the chili powder if you'd like a spicing beef filling then you can add 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste.
OPTIONAL TOPPINGS
Guacamole or diced avocados
Sour cream
Cholula or Tapatio Mexican hot sauce
Chopped red or green onions
Cilantro
Nutrition does not include optional toppings or oil for tortillas.TO COOK TORTILLAS
I like to cook them in a non-stick skillet or on an electric griddle in a little olive oil or vegetable oil over medium-high heat just briefly, about 15 - 20 seconds per side or until a few golden spots appear.
You don't need much oil (maybe 3/4 tsp per side, swirl to evenly coat tortillas or brush tortillas with oil then cook).
