Method

Proteins Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook Ground Beef

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

  2. 2

    Shred Chicken

    If using pre-cooked chicken, shred it using two forks. If cooking raw chicken, boil in water until fully cooked (about 15-20 minutes), then shred.

  3. 3

    Cook Shredded Pork

    If using pre-cooked pork, warm it in a skillet over low heat. If using raw pork, cook in a slow cooker with desired seasonings on low for 6-8 hours until tender, then shred.

Toppings Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare Lettuce

    Wash and chop the lettuce into small pieces.

  2. 5

    Shred Cheeses

    If not pre-shredded, grate the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.

  3. 6

    Diced Tomatoes

    Wash and dice the tomatoes into small cubes.

  4. 7

    Sour Cream

    Place sour cream in a serving bowl, ready for use.

Tortillas Preparation

  1. 8

    Warm Soft Flour Tortillas

    Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Warm the soft flour tortillas for 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 9

    Prepare Crispy Corn Tortillas

    Fry the corn tortillas in hot oil for about 30 seconds on each side until crispy, or bake in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 5-7 minutes until golden.
