Method
Taco Shells
- 1
Prepare the Taco Shells
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully fry each corn tortilla until golden and crispy, about 30 seconds per side. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt while still warm.
Filling

Cook the Beef Filling
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Toppings

Prepare the Toppings
While the beef is cooking, prepare the toppings. Rinse and chop the lettuce and tomatoes, shred the cheddar cheese, and slice the jalapeños. Set aside each topping in separate bowls for easy assembly.

Assemble the Tacos
To assemble each taco, take a crispy taco shell and fill it with a generous spoonful of the beef filling. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and sliced jalapeños. Serve immediately.
