David O's Ground Beef Tacos

Today we're sharing David O's Ground Beef Taco Recipe.  This simple recipe works whether you like to use hard taco shells or soft taco tortillas, either flour or corn.

Easy Ground Beef Taco Meat Mixture

1 lb. Ground Beef

1 Medium Onion, chopped

1 Tbs Oil

4 Tbs Taco Seasoning

1.  Heat up a skillet with oil and chopped Onions.

2.  When onions start to brown, add in ground beef and break up with a spatula.

3.  Add the seasoning mix and stir into ground beef and onions until completely coated and thoroughly cooked.

Taco Shells/Tortillas

You can buy hard taco shells already formed into a "U" shape, or you can buy soft taco tortillas.  Soft tortillas can be warmed by steaming or fried in a skillet with a little bit of oil.

Taco Toppings

After you scoop your meat mixture into your taco shell or tortilla, you will want to add toppings.  These are limited only by your taste and imagination.  The most common toppings include shredded lettuce, shredded cheese and diced tomatoes.  However, some people like to add one or more of the following: sliced olives, sliced jalepeños, bell peppers, avocado, more onions, salsa or pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole, chopped cilantro or lime or lemon juice.

Pick your favorite toppings, add your favorite taco sauce--mild to fiery hot--and enjoy!

3.  Add the cream and increase the heat to medium.  Whisk/stir the butter and cream until it is well-combined.

4.  Add the grated cheese  and whisk/stir it in completely until it is melted.  Continue to cook and stir the sauce until it thickens.

5.  Reduce the heat under the skillet.  Using tongs, transfer the cooked noodles from the pot into the Alfredo sauce in the skillet.  Stir together until all the pasta is completely coated with the sauce.

6.  Serve the pasta onto plates, garnish with the chopped parsley and eat while it's hot and fresh.
