Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains, ~6 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
Step 3
Warm taco shells in a dry skillet over low heat, ~1 minute per side, or use pre-warmed shells.
Step 4
Fill each shell with seasoned beef, then top with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and a dollop of sour cream.
Step 5
Serve immediately while shells are warm.
