Directions:
Brown beef until done.
Drain beef - while draining beef run very hot water over beef catching beef with a pan strainer (just ask me for this unique utensil). While sirloin does not contain much beef fat, this technique ensures all fat is removed.
Add Tones Taco Seasoning.
Add 1 cup of water and simmer another 10 minutes or until beef thickens.
Cut all lettuce into fine strips.
Place all of your cut-up ingredients into separate bowls.
Cook shells or tortillas according to package directions.

Personal Notes:
This recipe began with Nana when we were all young. We always cut up a little more onions, black olives and tomatoes than needed so we can freeze it and use it later for our tomato sauces or the next day to make salsa.
