Beef Tacos

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and chopped onion, breaking the beef apart with a spoon. Cook for 8-10 minutes, until the beef is browned and the onion is softened. Drain any excess fat.

Stir in the minced garlic and tomato paste into the browned beef and onion mixture. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

Add the taco seasoning and a splash of water (about 60ml) to the skillet. Stir well to combine, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

While the beef simmers, warm the wheat tortillas according to package instructions, either in a microwave or dry skillet. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes per tortilla or batch.

Wash and chop the romaine lettuce and dice the tomatoes into small pieces, preparing them as fresh toppings.

Serve the seasoned beef in the warm tortillas, topped with fresh romaine lettuce and diced tomatoes. Enjoy your homemade beef tacos!
