Prep time 10 mins

Cook time 15 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp. vegetable oil
  • 1 to 1 1/4 lb. extra lean ground beef (93% lean)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 to 4 Tbsp. College Inn® Savory Infusions Roasted Garlic & Chile Base
  • 8 taco-size soft tortillas, toasted
  • Topping Options: Lettuce, salsa, cheese, sour cream, green onion, radish, cilantro, lime

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef and break into large chunks with a wooden spoon.
  2. Cook until thoroughly browned, stirring frequently, breaking into smaller pieces with spoon.
  3. Carefully stir in water and Savory Infusions. Cook about 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until most of the water is evaporated. Divide meat among tortillas and serve with toppings, as desired.

TIP:  Toasting the tortillas adds a lot of flavor to tacosOn electric stoves, toast the tortillas in a hot dry skillet over medium heat about 30 seconds on each side, then wrap in a tea towel to keep warm. Or, blister them directly over the flames on a gas stove, turning frequently with tongs.
