Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 pound ground beef Use extra lean for less fat.
  • 1 small onion, chopped Chop finely for even cooking.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 packet taco seasoning Or use your homemade blend.
  • 1/2 cup water
For Assembling
  • 4 large flour tortillas Warm up before using.
  • 1 cup shredded cheese Cheddar or Monterey Jack recommended.
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes Fresh or canned.
  • 1 cup lettuce, shredded
Toppings (optional)
  • to taste sour cream
  • to taste salsa
  • to taste guacamole

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Use a spatula to break it apart as it cooks. Brown for about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
  3. Stir in the taco seasoning and water; mix well. Let it simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to thicken slightly.
  4. While the filling cooks, warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for about 15-20 seconds until they're pliable.
Assembly
  1. Place a generous scoop of the ground beef mixture down the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, and shredded lettuce.
  2. Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top.
  3. Serve immediately with your choice of sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.

Notes

For a healthier option, consider using whole wheat tortillas or lettuce wraps. Avoid overfilling the tortillas to ensure neat rolling.
