To use this taco seasoning, brown your ground meat in a skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess fat. Stir in the contents of the seasoning packet along with a specified amount of water, usually around two-thirds of a cup. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the meat is well-coated. This creates a flavorful taco filling ready to be served in tortillas with your favorite toppings.
