Toppings

Method

Prepare Taco Shells

  1. 1

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Fry Tortillas

    Once the oil is hot, add a corn tortilla to the skillet. Fry for about 30 seconds on each side until golden and crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Cook Protein Fillings

  1. 3

    Brown the Beef

    In the same skillet, add the ground beef and cook over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned (about 5-7 minutes).

  2. 4

    Season Beef

    Stir in the taco seasoning and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring the beef is well coated with the seasoning.

Assemble Tacos

  1. 5

    Layer Ingredients

    Take a crispy taco shell and fill it with a generous scoop of the seasoned ground beef. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, chopped onions, and sliced jalapeños.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    Finish by adding shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, guacamole, and sprinkle chopped cilantro on top.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the taco shells are still warm and crispy.
