Instructions

1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until soft.
2. Add ground beef. Break it apart with your spatula as it cooks. Cook until no pink remains, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Drain off excess grease by tilting the pan and spooning it out.
4. If using taco seasoning, add it now with 1/4 cup water. Stir and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the liquid is mostly gone. If using individual spices, add chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, and salt now and stir for 1 minute. If you have no seasoning at all, just add salt and the beef still tastes good.
5. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 seconds each side, or wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20 seconds.
6. Spoon beef into tortillas and add whatever toppings you have.
