Taco Filling

Taco Shells

Method

Prepare Taco Filling

  1. 1

    Cook Ground Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Taco Seasoning

    Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat. Add the taco seasoning and water to the skillet. Stir to combine.

  3. 3

    Simmer

    Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.

Prepare Taco Shells

  1. 4

    Heat Corn Tortillas

    In a separate skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable. This will prevent them from breaking when filled.

Assemble Tacos

  1. 5

    Fill Tacos

    Take a warm tortilla and spoon in a generous amount of the taco filling. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, and sliced jalapeños to taste.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Arrange the assembled tacos on a plate and serve immediately with any remaining toppings on the side.
