Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I start by heating a bit of olive oil in my large pot over medium heat. Once it’s warm, I toss in the chopped onions and sauté them until they’re soft and fragrant. The smell of sautéing onions is like a warm hug in my kitchen! Next, I add the ground beef or turkey, browning it until fully cooked; this usually takes about 5-7 minutes. I don’t forget to season the meat with a pinch of salt and pepper, too. Once browned, I stir in the taco seasoning, which gives it that quintessential taco flavor. This is where the magic really begins! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
