Family Taco Night Recipe: Fun and Flavorful Dining

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 1 cup water
• 8 small taco shells or tortillas
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup salsa
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
• Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Stir in the taco seasoning and water, then bring to a simmer. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens.
3. While the beef is cooking, prepare the taco toppings by chopping the lettuce, dicing the tomatoes, and slicing the avocado.
4. Warm the taco shells or tortillas in the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes to make them crispy.
5. To assemble the tacos, fill each taco shell or tortilla with the seasoned beef mixture, then top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cheese, and any additional toppings you like.
6. Serve the tacos with sour cream, salsa, avocado slices, black beans, and lime wedges on the side for everyone to customize their own.
7. Enjoy your family taco night by gathering around the table and sharing your favorite taco creations!
