    1

    Start by dicing the onion and mincing the garlic.

    2

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Make sure to stir occasionally to break up the meat.

    3

    Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

    4

    Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the beef mixture and stir well to coat the meat; cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices.

    5

    Pour in the beef broth, stirring to combine. Lower the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.

    6

    While the beef is cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave for about 20-30 seconds until pliable.

    7

    To assemble your tacos, spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture onto a tortilla, then top with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.
