Taco Bar Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Meat

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef or turkey and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Add Seasoning

    Sprinkle taco seasoning over the cooked meat. Add a splash of water (about 1/4 cup) to help distribute the seasoning. Stir well and let simmer for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Heat Refried Beans

    In a small saucepan, heat the refried beans over low heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Prepare Toppings

    While the meat and beans are cooking, prepare the toppings: chop the lettuce, dice the tomatoes, and shred the cheese.

  5. 5

    Set Up Taco Bar

    Arrange taco shells or tortillas on a serving platter. In separate bowls, arrange the cooked meat, refried beans, and toppings: lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, onions, and jalapeños.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Invite guests to build their own tacos with their choice of ingredients.
