Tips to Make Delicious Beef Tacos

• For extra flavor, add fresh herbs like cilantro or a squeeze of lime juice.
• If you like spicy food, add chopped jalapeños to your tacos.
• Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet while cooking the beef for the best browning.

Variation

Try using ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option. You can also make vegetarian tacos with black beans or grilled vegetables as the filling.
