Tacos with Beef (Taco 1)

Ingredients

1 Tbsp. Olive oil
1 medium White or yellow onions (diced small)
16 ounces 90/10 Ground beef
1/2 cup Water
4 Tbsp. Seasoning mix, dry, taco, original
8 tortilla medium (approx 6 inch dia) Flour tortillas
2 ounce Cheese, cheddar (Includes foods for USDA's Food Distribution Program) (about 1/2 cup, shredded)

Instructions

Heat a medium pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Once the oil is hot, add the onions and saute until translucent and beginning to brown.

Once onions are translucent, add the beef and cook until no more pink is visible. If necessary, drain excess fat from the beef and onion mixture.

Add water and seasoning to the beef and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

If desired, warm the tortillas by placing them on a plate, covering with a damp paper towel, and microwaving in 30-second bursts until warmed through.

Assemble the tacos by dividing the filling and cheese evenly between the tortillas. Serve warm.

"The American taco can boast of two birthplaces: Los Angeles and San Bernardino, California. But its baptismal font is the pan angrily bubbling with oil at Cielito Lindo, a tiny stand in downtown Los Angeles named after a classic ranchera song meaning 'Beautiful Little Heaven.' From here come taquitos filled with shredded beef, grabbed fresh from that roiling pan, then anointed in a creamy salsa, more pureed avocado than chile."
