Authentic American beef tacos, ready in under 30 minutes with a flavorful homemade seasoning blend that beats store-bought packs. Inspired by my mom's cherished recipe!
Ingredients:
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1.5 teaspoons chili powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.125 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 0.25 cup water
  • 8 medium taco shells, warmed
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 0.25 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 medium tomato, chopped
  • taco sauce
Instructions:
  • Break up the ground beef in a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish and cover with a glass lid. Microwave on High for 5 minutes. Drain any excess fat and mix in chili powder, salt, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and water. Cover and microwave for an additional 3 to 4 minutes on High.
  • Spoon a generous 2 tablespoons of savory ground beef into each taco shell, then layer on your favorite amounts of cheese, crisp lettuce, diced onion, fresh tomato, and zesty taco sauce.
