Taco Preparation
Cook the Meat
In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, stirring occasionally, about 5-7 minutes.
Add Seasoning
Drain excess fat from the skillet. Add taco seasoning to the cooked beef along with 1/4 cup of water. Stir well and let simmer for about 5 minutes.
Prepare Taco Shells
While the meat is simmering, warm the taco shells in the oven according to package instructions (usually about 5-10 minutes at 350°F).
Assemble Tacos
Once the taco shells are warmed, fill each shell with the seasoned ground beef. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, and sliced jalapeños to taste.
Optional Sides Preparation
Heat Refried Beans
Warm the refried beans in a small saucepan over medium heat until heated through, about 3-5 minutes.
Prepare Spanish Rice
Cook the Spanish rice according to package instructions, usually 15-20 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
Serve Guacamole
Scoop the guacamole into a small bowl for serving alongside the tacos.
