Ingredients:
- 12 small soft flour tortillas (or mini corn tortillas)
- 1 lb ground beef (or ground chicken, turkey, or meat of choice)
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade seasoning: 1 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, salt to taste)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup salsa or pico de gallo
- Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- Lime wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
- Cook the Meat:
- In a large skillet, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
- Add the ground meat to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
- Season the Meat:
- Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is heated through and the sauce thickens. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
- Prepare the Tortillas:
- Warm the small tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 10-15 seconds until soft and pliable. If using corn tortillas, you can briefly heat them in a skillet with a little oil for extra flavor.
- Assemble the Tiny Tacos:
- Spoon a small amount of the taco meat mixture into the center of each tortilla.
- Top with shredded cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, and salsa.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges. Serve immediately as an appetizer or part of a larger spread.
Serving Suggestions:
