Ground Beef Tacos

Welcome to Foodie Friday! I haven’t made tacos in a while (not since the breakfast steak tacos ages and ages ago) so what better time to start again than with these ground beef tacos!

Come to think of it, I think I’ve only really ever made tacos one other time(?!). I have no idea why since I’m all for quick and easy recipes and how much quicker/easier could it be than this!?

This was the setup for our taco bar. :]

P.S. If the iceberg lettuce is looking a tad shiny to you, it’s because it’s actually…cabbage. But we meant to get iceberg lettuce. It was 109 degrees outside though so we weren’t feeling all that inspired to go outside again, so waxy lettuce it was! (Still tasted great but I’d recommend not making our mistake and getting actual lettuce instead, hehe.)
