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 1/2 cup of water to the beef. 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: Dice the tomatoes, onions, and cilantro. Shred the lettuce and cheese. Place all toppings in separate bowls.
Set up the taco bar: Arrange the seasoned beef, warm tortillas, and all toppings on a table for everyone to customize their tacos.
Serve: Let everyone assemble their tacos with their preferred toppings. Serve with lime wedges for extra flavor.
