Ingredients:
- 1 – 1 ½ lb Riverbend Cattle Company Ground Beef
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade seasoning: chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper)
- 1/4 cup water
- 8 small soft corn or flour tortillas
- Toppings: shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, salsa, jalapeños, lime wedges, fresh cilantro
Instructions:
- Cook the Ground Beef: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Riverbend Cattle Company Ground Beef to the pan and break it apart with a spatula. Cook for about 5–6 minutes, or until the beef is fully browned and cooked through.
- Season the Beef: Once the beef is browned, stir in the taco seasoning and water. Mix well, and let the beef simmer for 2–3 minutes until the seasoning is well absorbed and the mixture thickens slightly.
- Warm the Tortillas: While the beef is simmering, warm the tortillas in a separate pan or microwave until soft and pliable.
- Assemble the Tacos: Spoon the seasoned ground beef onto each tortilla, dividing the beef evenly. Add your favorite toppings like shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and sour cream.
- Garnish and Serve: Top with fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime, and a drizzle of salsa or jalapeños for an extra kick. Serve immediately.
