Tex-Mex Tacos

Ingredients:

2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 Medium yellow or red onion, chopped
1 Pound SAMPCO Extra Lean Shredded Beef
1 Pkg. taco seasoning packet
¾ Cup water
12 Small flour tortillas (or hard corn taco shells)

Diced tomato
Fresh cilantro leaves
Shredded cheese
Diced onion
Sour cream
Salsa
Diced jalapeño peppers
Sliced avocado or guacamole

Preparation:

1. Measure 3 tablespoons of chopped onion and set aside (to use for toppings.)
2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add remaining chopped onion and cook, while stirring occasionally, until softened– about 4 minutes.
3. Stir in shredded beef; add taco seasoning & water. Simmer, uncovered, until most of liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. (Mixture should be moist– but not wet.)
4. Spoon about ½ cup of seasoned beef mixture onto each tortilla or taco shell. Top with any or all of your favorite taco topping ingredients.

**Cook’s tip: Try assembling your taco by adding your juiciest ingredients last (such as beef mixture, tomatoes, salsa…) it will help prevent the tortilla or taco shell from getting soggy!
