Taco Ingredients

Method

Taco Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Filling

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef or chicken and cook until browned.

  2. 2

    Season the Meat

    Add taco seasoning, salt, and pepper to the meat. Stir to combine, then add 1/2 cup of water. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the water evaporates and the mixture thickens.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Tortillas

    In a separate pan, lightly toast the corn tortillas until they are crispy on the edges, about 1-2 minutes on each side.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each crispy tortilla, layer the seasoned meat, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately while they are crispy. Enjoy!
