Taco Toppings

Method

Prepare Taco Shells

  1. 1

    Heat the Tortillas

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the corn tortillas one at a time and cook for about 30 seconds on each side until warm and slightly crispy. Set aside on a plate.

Cook Protein

  1. 2

    Cook the Ground Beef

    In the same skillet, add the ground beef over medium heat. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  2. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    If using chicken breast, season with salt, pepper, and half of the chili powder. Cook in a separate skillet for 6-8 minutes per side, until fully cooked. Shred with two forks.

  3. 4

    Prepare Black Beans

    If using black beans, drain and rinse them. Heat in a small saucepan over medium heat until warmed through.

Season the Protein

  1. 5

    Season the Beef or Beans

    Add the remaining chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt to the cooked ground beef or black beans. Stir well and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Assemble Tacos

  1. 6

    Fill the Tacos

    Take a warm tortilla and fill it with your choice of cooked protein. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, salsa, sour cream, and slices of avocado.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Place the filled tacos on a serving plate and enjoy immediately!
