Homemade Beef Tacos

Written By Emily Parkins

My kids recently started eating tacos and it’s so convenient because they are SO easy to make and such an easy meal prep item! They are quick to make and delicious too. Such an easy weeknight meal! I like to make these as bowls because I love a bowl but you can also make them with taco shells - which is how I serve them to my kiddos who love the ‘big chip’. This is such a fun interactive meal for your kiddos!

Ingredients:

  • 2lbs. ground beef

  • 1 1/2 cups water

  • 1 Packet Simply Taco Seasoning

OR Make your own taco seasoning:

  • 1 tsp. Cayenne

  • 1 tsp. Cumin

  • 2 TBSP. Powdered Garlic

  • 2 TBSP. Powdered Onion

  • 2 TBSP. Chili Powder

Directions:

  • Cook ground beef until thoroughly cooked.

  • If making rice, start rice when you start the ground beef.

  • As beef is cooking, prepare taco toppings!

  • Add taco seasoning of choice and water.

  • Let simmer for about 10 minutes!

  • Serve and enjoy!
