Method

Preparing the Taco Shells

  1. 1

    Cook the Ground Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula. Drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Add Taco Seasoning

    Stir in the taco seasoning and a splash of water. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens.

  3. 3

    Prepare Corn Tortillas

    In a separate pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Once hot, slightly fry the corn tortillas until they are pliable but not crispy, about 30 seconds on each side.

  4. 4

    Shape Taco Shells

    While the tortillas are still warm, gently fold them into a taco shape and hold for a few seconds until they hold their shape.

  5. 5

    Layer the Refried Beans

    Spread a layer of refried beans on the inside of each taco shell.

  6. 6

    Add Beef and Cheese

    Fill each taco shell with the seasoned ground beef and top with shredded cheddar cheese. Set aside.

Adding Toppings

  1. 7

    Prepare Vegetables

    Wash and chop the lettuce, dice the tomatoes and onions, and slice the avocado.

  2. 8

    Assemble the Tacos

    Fill each taco shell with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and avocado slices. Drizzle with sour cream and salsa.
