Method

Preparation of Taco Shells

  1. 1

    Warm the Taco Shells

    Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Place the corn tortillas in the skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until they are warm and pliable.

Cooking the Proteins

  1. 2

    Prepare Ground Beef

    In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  2. 3

    Season Ground Beef

    Add the taco seasoning (chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper) to the cooked ground beef. Mix well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  3. 4

    Prepare Shredded Chicken

    In another skillet, heat shredded chicken over medium heat for about 5 minutes until heated through. You can season it with the same taco seasoning if desired.

  4. 5

    Prepare Black Beans

    Open the can of black beans, rinse and drain. Heat in a small saucepan over medium heat for about 5 minutes until warmed.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 6

    Fill the Taco Shells

    Choose any three protein options (ground beef, shredded chicken, black beans) and fill each warmed taco shell with your desired choice.

  2. 7

    Add Toppings

    Top each taco with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, sliced jalapeños, and avocado slices.
