Taco Shells

Method

Prepare Taco Shells

  1. 1

    Heat Oil

    In a medium frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.

  2. 2

    Fry Tortillas

    Carefully place each corn tortilla in the hot oil one at a time. Fry for about 30 seconds on each side until they are crispy and golden brown. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Prepare Filling

    Cook Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.

    Add Spices

    Stir in chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  3. 5

    Simmer

    Add water and stir. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens.

Assemble Tacos

  1. 6

    Fill Shells

    Take each fried tortilla shell and fill it with a generous amount of the beef filling.

  2. 7

    Add Toppings

    Top each taco with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and sliced jalapeños according to your taste.
