Method

Taco Shells

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tortillas

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add each corn tortilla, frying for about 30 seconds on each side until they are slightly crispy but still pliable. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Filling

  1. 2

    Cook the Beef

    In a medium pan over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Once fully cooked (about 5-7 minutes), drain any excess grease.

  2. 3

    Add Seasoning

    Add the taco seasoning mix to the cooked beef along with 1/4 cup of water. Stir well and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.

  3. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Take a fried tortilla and add a spoonful of refried beans, followed by the seasoned ground beef. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, chopped lettuce, chopped tomatoes, a dollop of sour cream, and sliced jalapeños to taste.
