Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 1 tbsp ranch seasoning (or ranch dressing mix)
- 1/4 cup water

- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
- 1 small tomato (diced)
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
- Sour cream
- Guacamole

Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain off any excess fat.
