- Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until no pink remains. Drain any excess fat.

Notes
Serve with sour cream, salsa, avocado, or fresh cilantro. Optionally, add diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes for spiciness. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator or freeze for 2–3 months.
