Instructions

Step 1

Heat ground beef in a medium skillet. Once the beef has just started to brown, add chopped green onion, minced garlic, tomato paste, and seasoning blend. Mix until the entire beef mixture has fully browned and all the seasoning has been evenly combined. Add in 2 tbsp of water to keep the meat moist. If you prefer a dry, crumbly meat mixture, then you can skip the water. Take the cooked meat mixture off the heat and transfer to a heat-safe bowl. Cover with a lid and set aside.

Step 2

Chop and add all the ingredients for the tomato onion topping into a medium bowl. Mix and set aside.

Step 3

Dice the avocado and add to a bowl. Set aside. Add shredded cheese to individual bowls and set aside. You can also add your lime wedges to a bowl and set aside.

Step 4

Lay out all the ingredients (taco shells, ground beef mixture, toppings, and sauce). You can pre-assemble each taco yourself before serving OR let everyone build their own tacos.

To build your tacos:

Step 5

Add about 2-3 tbsp of ground beef mixture to the bottom of your taco shells. Top with a heaping tablespoon of cheese over the meat. The cheese will melt slightly when it touches the hot meat.

Step 6

Top with a heaping tbsp of the tomato onion topping then drizzle as much guacamole salsa as desired. Add a squeeze of lime over everything and enjoy!
