Instructions
Cook the beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
Season the beef: Add the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water to the skillet. Stir well and simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
Warm the tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side or wrap them in foil and warm in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes.
Prepare the toppings: Arrange shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, onions, cheese, sour cream, salsa, avocado slices, lime wedges, and cilantro in separate bowls.
Assemble the taco bar: Place the seasoned beef, warm tortillas, and topping bowls on a table or counter for everyone to access easily.
Serve and enjoy: Let everyone build their own tacos with their preferred toppings and a squeeze of lime for extra flavor.
Chef's Tips

- Tortilla Options: Offer corn tortillas or lettuce wraps for a gluten-free alternative.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the beef and chop toppings ahead of time for quicker assembly.
- Leftovers: Store leftover toppings separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
