Method

Taco Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Ground Beef

    In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until fully browned.

  2. 2

    Add Taco Seasoning

    Add the taco seasoning to the browned beef and stir to combine. Add a little water (about 1/4 cup) and simmer for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare Taco Shells

    Warm the taco shells in the oven according to the package instructions.

  4. 4

    Assemble Tacos

    Fill each taco shell with cooked beef, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.

Quesadilla Preparation

  1. 5

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced bell peppers and onions, sauté until softened (about 5 minutes). Set aside.

  2. 6

    Prepare Quesadilla

    Place one flour tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on one half of the tortilla.

  3. 7

    Add Fillings

    Add a portion of the sautéed vegetables and shredded chicken on top of the cheese. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the filling.

  4. 8

    Fold and Cook

    Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown.

  5. 9

    Slice and Serve

    Remove from the skillet, slice into wedges, and serve with salsa or guacamole.
