Ingredients

  • 1 lb Lean ground beef

  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 Large tomato diced
  • 1 cup Iceberg lettuce shredded
  • 1 cup Cheddar cheese shredded
  • Sour cream
  • Salsa
  • 10 Taco shells

Instructions

  • In a skillet, brown 1-lb lean ground beef until no pink is showing.
  • Add about ½ cup of water and stir to rinse the grease off the meat. Then drain grease and water from skillet. (I tilt the skillet, scoop the meat to the high side, spoon the liquid into a mug and allow it to cool before pouring into the garbage.)
  • Sprinkle taco seasoning over meat.
