Method

Prepare Taco Shells

1

Heat Oil

In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

2

Fry Tortillas

Once the oil is hot, carefully add one corn tortilla at a time and fry for about 30 seconds on each side until golden and crispy. Place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Prepare Filling

Cook Beef

In a large skillet over medium heat, add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

4

Add Onion and Garlic

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

5

Season Beef

Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Assemble Tacos

Fill Shells
