Ground Beef Tacos

This is the taco night everyone already knows how to make, and it fits your macros without any fuss. Lean ground beef gets browned and simmered with a store-bought taco seasoning packet, then loaded into crunchy shells with shredded cheese and lettuce. Count out your shells and cheese to hit your carb and fat targets, and swap in extra-lean beef for more protein per gram of fat.</long_description> <parameter name="meta_description">Easy ground beef tacos with taco seasoning, hard shells, cheese and lettuce.
