Sprinkle taco seasoning over the beef, then pour in water. Stir well and simmer for 3–5 mins until thickened.
Warm Tortillas:
Heat hard shells in the oven (per package instructions) or warm soft tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 secs per side.
Assemble Tacos:
Fill shells with beef and top with your favorites: cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, etc.
Pro Tips:
For extra flavor, add 1 tsp cumin or smoked paprika to the seasoning.
