Easy Weeknight Tacos

Serving Size

3-4

Ingredients

  • 4–8 tortillas (flour or corn)
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2-3 tbsp taco seasoning
  • ½ cup shredded cheese
  • ½ cup salsa

Directions

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Stir in the seasoning and continue cooking until the beef is fully browned with no pink remaining. Drain excess grease if necessary.
  • While the beef cooks, heat the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20–30 seconds.
  • Spoon the cooked beef onto the warmed tortillas.
  • Sprinkle with cheese and spoon salsa over the meat.
  • Fold or roll the tacos and serve immediately with your favorite sides.

Notes

Make it Spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the ground beef or top with hot sauce. GD-friendly option: Use lettuce wraps instead of tortillas. Meal Prep Tip: Cook and season the ground beef ahead of time for a quick meal later. More fiber: Add a side of black beans and avocado on top.
