Ground Beef Tacos

Taco Tuesday just got even better with these amazing Ground Beef Tacos! They're filled with tender flavorful meat and beans and loaded with all the toppings.

📝 Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 cup sweet or yellow onion ((about 1/2))
• 1 15 ounce can black beans (optional) (drained and rinsed )
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup tomato sauce
• 4 tablespoons taco seasoning
• tortillas
• romaine lettuce
• black olives
• tomatoes
• shredded cheese
• sour cream
• salsa

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Heat 2 teaspoon oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for about 5 minutes until translucent. Push the onions out toward the edges of the pan and turn heat up to medium-high.
2. 2Add the ground beef and let it sit and sear for 2-3 minutes. Flip and let it cook another 2 minutes. Break meat apart with a meat chopper or wooden spoon and let it sear again. Continue to chop up and brown meat. Once browned, drain off the grease. (I like to just dump it into a large mesh sieve.)
3. 3Add the meat/onions back to the pan along with the black beans, water, tomato sauce, and taco seasoning. Mix together, bring to simmer, reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer 15-20 minutes or until tender.
4. 4Place meat filling in tortillas along with your favorite toppings.
