Method

Taco Shells

  1. 1

    Prepare Taco Shells

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place crunchy taco shells on a baking sheet and warm them in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until they are crispy. For soft tortillas, wrap them in foil and place them in the oven for 10 minutes to heat through.

Guacamole

    Make Guacamole

    In a bowl, mash the ripe avocados with a fork. Stir in lime juice, salt, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and diced red onion until well combined. Adjust salt and lime to taste.

Bean Dip

  1. 3

    Prepare Bean Dip

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine canned refried beans, chili powder, and garlic powder. Stir until heated through. Add shredded cheddar cheese and mix until melted and smooth.

Sour Cream

  1. 4

    Serve Sour Cream

    Place sour cream in a serving bowl. You can choose to add some lime juice or a sprinkle of paprika for extra flavor if desired.

Shredded Chicken

    Prepare Shredded Chicken

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the shredded chicken and taco seasoning. Stir to combine and heat until the chicken is warmed through, about 5-7 minutes.

Nachos

  1. 6

    Make Nachos

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread tortilla chips on a baking sheet, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Pico de Gallo

    Make Pico de Gallo
