Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I heat my skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. I like to break it apart with my spatula as it cooks. The moment the beef hits the pan, the sizzle and aroma fill my kitchen with a mouthwatering scent. Once it’s browned, I drain any excess fat (if needed) and season the beef with taco seasoning, allowing it to infuse with flavor. I usually add a splash of water to help the spices meld together nicely. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
