For this recipe, I normally use ground beef. But feel free to substitute with ground turkey or ground chicken if you can’t have beef or simply want an alternative. When it comes to seasoning the taco meat, you can use homemade taco seasoning or buy one of the taco seasoning packets from the grocery store. This recipe is super simple, and you can adjust it to your liking, so don’t hesitate. This meal is simple and it’s an easy way to do taco Tuesday for everyone to enjoy!

Method
 

  1. Prep the veggies beforehand. Clean and cut up the romaine lettuce; dice the tomatoes, onion, and avocado. Set aside.
  2. In a skillet, over medium high heat add the ground beef. Optional: add a few onions & allow the meat to cook.
  3. Stir the meat consistently, making sure to brown it and allow it to fully cook. The ground beef will produce its own fat, so once the meat is done- drain the excess fat/liquid.
  4. Season the meat with taco seasoning, add water, and allow the liquid to come to a boil.
