Homemade Taco Dinner

Ingredients:

For the Taco Filling:

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef, turkey, or chicken
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade, gluten-free)
  • 1/4 cup tomato sauce or salsa
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Tacos:

  • Gluten-free taco shells or tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a mix)
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup diced onions or green onions
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup guacamole or sliced avocado
  • Fresh cilantro (optional)
  • Lime wedges for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Taco Filling:

    • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
    • Add the ground meat and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked.
    • Stir in minced garlic, taco seasoning, tomato sauce or salsa, and a splash of water (about 2 tbsp). Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is well combined and saucy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
  2. Prepare the Toppings:

    • While the meat is cooking, chop and prepare all your toppings: lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, onions, and anything else you love.
  3. Warm the Taco Shells:

    • Heat the taco shells or tortillas according to package instructions. This step enhances their texture and flavor.
  4. Assemble the Tacos:

    • Fill each taco shell or tortilla with the cooked taco filling. Add shredded lettuce, cheese, diced tomatoes, and onions. Top with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, a spoonful of guacamole, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
  5. Serve:

    • Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side for a burst of citrus flavor.

Homemade Taco Seasoning (Optional):

Mix the following ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
