instructions
    1

    Begin by heating a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until it's browned.

    2

    Once the beef is fully cooked, sprinkle the taco seasoning over it and mix well. Add a splash of water if desired, and let it simmer for about 5 more minutes to blend the flavors.

    3

    While the beef is cooking, chop the onion and cilantro finely. Set aside.

    4

    Warm the tortillas in a dry pan for about 30 seconds on each side or until they are soft and pliable.

    5

    To assemble the tacos, place a generous scoop of seasoned beef onto each tortilla.

    6

    Top the beef with chopped onions, cilantro, and a spoonful of salsa.

    7

    Squeeze fresh lime juice over the assembled tacos for a burst of freshness.
