Beef Taco Recipe

• 1 pound of ground beef
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 tomato, diced

Brown the ground beef in a cast iron skillet. Remove the beef and drain the fat; set aside momentarily. Do not wipe the skillet clean.

Saute the diced onion and bell pepper in the same skillet. When the onions have turned translucent, return the ground beef and add the tomato and taco seasoning mix.

Add one or two tablespoons of water to help distribute the seasoning mix. Stir all ingredients well and cook until everything is throughly heated.

Serve the ground beef in either soft or hard taco shells and a variety of taco toppings of your choice. Typical taco toppings include salsa, homemade guacamole, cheese, diced onions and tomatoes, shredded cilantro, shredded lettuce, and black olives.
