Method

Prepare Taco Shells

  1. 1

    Heat Oil

    In a deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.

  2. 2

    Fry Tortillas

    Using tongs, carefully place one corn tortilla in the hot oil. Fry for about 30 seconds on each side until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Prepare Filling

  1. 3

    Cook Beef

    In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  2. 4

    Add Seasoning

    Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Sauté for about 3 minutes until the onion is translucent.

  3. 5

    Combine Seasoning

    Sprinkle taco seasoning over the beef mixture, stirring well to combine. Add a splash of water if mixture is too dry. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

    Fill Tortillas

    Take one fried tortilla and fill it with a spoonful of the beef mixture.
