Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat.

In the same skillet, add 1 finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes. Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for an additional minute.

Sprinkle in taco seasoning and pour in ½ cup of water, stirring to combine. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until thick and aromatic.

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 seconds on each side. Fry in vegetable oil for 15-20 seconds per side until crispy.

Fill each taco shell with the beef mixture and add toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and salsa.

Serve immediately and enjoy family-style with extra toppings.
