Taco Filling

Taco Shells

Method

Preparing the Taco Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Ground Beef

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

  2. 2

    Add Taco Seasoning

    Sprinkle the taco seasoning mix over the cooked beef. Pour in the water and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Refried Beans

    Stir in the refried beans until well combined and heated through, about 3-5 minutes.

Preparing Taco Shells

  1. 4

    Warm the Taco Shells

    While the filling is simmering, warm the taco shells according to package instructions, usually in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 5

    Fill the Taco Shells

    Spoon the beef and bean mixture into each taco shell until filled.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    Top each taco with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, sliced jalapeños to taste, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
