1
Cook the Meat
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add ground beef or shredded chicken. Cook until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes for ground beef). Drain excess fat if necessary.
2
Season the Meat
Add taco seasoning to the meat. Stir well and add a small amount of water (about 1/4 cup) if needed. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the seasoning is well incorporated.
3
Prepare the Tortilla Shells
While the meat is cooking, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place tortilla shells on a baking sheet and bake for about 5-7 minutes until crispy.
4
Assemble the Salad
In each crispy tortilla shell, layer the seasoned meat, followed by shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, guacamole, and a dollop of sour cream.
5
Serve
Serve immediately while the tortilla shell is warm and crispy.
