- 1
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 3 minutes.

Add the ground beef to the skillet, using a spatula to break it into small pieces. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.

Drain excess fat from the skillet, if necessary. Stir in the taco seasoning and water, mixing well to coat the beef evenly. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
