To use, brown your ground beef in a skillet, draining off any excess fat. Once the beef is cooked, stir in the contents of the seasoning packet. Add the recommended amount of water, typically around 2/3 cup, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and coats the meat evenly. This seasoned beef is then ready to be served in taco shells or tortillas.
