Safe temp: Ground meat
160°F · Use a food thermometer
1. Cook the beef
Brown the ground beef in a skillet, then drain excess grease.
Ground meat: 160°F. Use a food thermometer and check the middle of the patty or crumble cluster once it is nearly done.
2. Step 2
Add taco seasoning and a splash of water, then simmer briefly.
A simmer uses small steady bubbles, not a hard rolling boil.
3. Step 3
Warm the taco shells.
4. Step 4
Fill each shell with beef, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, and onion.
5. Finish and serve
Serve immediately.
