1
Brown ground beef in a skillet, breaking it into very fine crumbles.
2
Add taco seasoning and a small splash of water; simmer until the meat is glossy and well seasoned.

Fill with beef, then add lettuce, cheese, tomato and sour cream as listed.
5
Serve immediately.
Closer-match tip
Use a potato masher or sturdy spatula while browning to create the fine beef texture common in quick-service tacos.
