Ingredients
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 large onion, peeled and finely chopped
1 lb. lean ground beef or ground turkey
2 medium-ripe tomatoes, cored and chopped
1 small green pepper, cored, seeded, and chopped
1 clove garlic, peeled and mashed
1/4 cup mild salsa
1 tsp. chili powder
2 tsp. cumin
8 six-in. taco shells



Start Cooking

Step 1
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and stir until it softens. Add the ground beef (or ground turkey) and sauté for three minutes.



Step 2
Add the tomato, green pepper, and garlic. Cook for another three minutes, then lower the heat. Add the salsa, chili powder, and cumin. Simmer for five minutes.



Step 3
Place all the taco garnishes (chopped tomato, cheese, and lettuce) in separate bowls and place them on the dinner table.



Step 4
Fill each taco shell with 1/3 of a cup of the beef mixture and line them up on a platter.



Step 5
Everyone can now top their own taco with piles of their favorite garnishes.
