  1. 1

    Prepare Ground Beef

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess fat.

    Add 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning to the ground beef and mix well. Set aside once cooked.

    In the same skillet, add the ground chicken. Cook until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.

    Add the remaining tablespoon of taco seasoning to the ground chicken and mix well. Set aside once cooked.

    Rinse and drain the black beans. In a saucepan, combine black beans and corn, heating over medium until warmed through.

    Prepare Tortillas

    Warm corn or flour tortillas on a skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 7

    Assemble Tacos

    For each taco, choose a filling (ground beef, ground chicken, or black beans) and place it in the center of the tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, and jalapeños.

    Cook Rice

    In a medium pot, combine the white rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.
