Step-by-Step Instructions
To get started, I heat a large skillet over medium heat and brown the ground beef or turkey. While it cooks, the smell of the meat sizzling is absolutely mouth-watering! Once it’s browned completely, I drain the excess fat, and then add the taco seasoning along with a splash of water, letting it simmer until the sauce thickens. It’s such a comforting scent, bringing all those spicy aromas wafting through my kitchen. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
