Tacos de Carne con Salsa (Tacos with Beef and Salsa)
Salsa Beef Tacos are an explosion of flavor that will make your dinner a fiesta tonight!
Start by heating a large skillet over medium heat and adding 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it is fully browned.
Drain any excess fat from the beef, then stir in 1 cup of salsa and 1 teaspoon of cumin. Allow it to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While the mixture is simmering, prepare the taco toppings. Chop 1 cup of lettuce, dice 1 tomato, and finely chop 1 onion.
Once the beef mixture is done simmering, remove it from the heat.
Warm taco shells according to package instructions. Typically, you can place them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5 minutes or microwave for 30 seconds.
To assemble, spoon the beef mixture into each taco shell, then top with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion. Serve immediately.
