Equipment

1 Large Skillet
1 Large spoon or spatula

Ingredients

1 lb. lean ground beef (I used 96/4%)
⅓ cup water
1 packet taco seasoning (I used Siete Mild Taco Seasoning)
8 tortillas of choice (I used Mission Whole Wheat Tortillas)
8 lettuce leaves (I used green leaf lettuce)
½ cup Greek yogurt (I used Fage 2%)
½ cup guacamole (I used Wholly Guacamole)
½ cup pico de gallo
½ cup shredded Mexican cheese
½ cup sliced black olives

Instructions

In a large skillet, add ground beef. While the meat is cooking, break it up into crumbles. Cook until no longer pink.
Add ⅓ cup of water to the skillet and 1 pouch of taco seasoning. Stir to combine.
Reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, warm tortillas in the microwave for 10 seconds. TIP: place a slightly damp paper towel on top of the tortillas to ensure they do not dry out while heating.
Place tortillas on a plate. Heat in microwave for 10 seconds to warm. Spread taco meat evenly over each tortilla.
Add 1 tbsp of each topping (Greek yogurt, guacamole, pico de gallo, shredded cheese, sliced olives).
Fold into a taco and enjoy immediately for best results!

Notes

The taco meat cooks really quickly in this recipe, so I recommend buying toppings that don’t require a lot of prep work (i.e. buying pico de gallo vs tomato, onion, cilantro, etc that you have to chop yourself). This will save you not only time chopping, but also clean up time as well!
Place a slightly damp paper towel on top of the tortillas to ensure they do not dry out while heating.
