  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

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

  2. 2

    Season the Beef

    Stir in the taco seasoning and a splash of water. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the beef is well coated and the seasoning is fragrant.

    Warm Taco Shells

    While the beef is cooking, preheat the oven and warm the crunchy taco shells according to package instructions, usually around 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Carefully fill each taco shell with the seasoned ground beef, then top with shredded lettuce, cheese, pico de gallo, and a dollop of sour cream.

  5. 5
