  2. Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with salt and pepper until browned. Drain excess fat.

Notes

  • You can customize the fillings to suit your taste preferences, adding ingredients like bacon, avocado, or jalapenos.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute the ground beef with plant-based crumbles or grilled vegetables.
