Meat

Taco Shells

Method

Preparing the Meat

  1. 1

    Cook the Meat

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef or ground chicken. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Break up the meat with a spatula as it cooks.

  2. 2

    Add Taco Seasoning

    Once the meat is cooked, drain any excess fat. Stir in the taco seasoning and follow package instructions for adding water (usually about 1/4 cup). Simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the seasoning is well incorporated.

Preparing Taco Shells

  1. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate skillet or on a griddle, warm the soft taco tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable. Alternatively, you can wrap them in foil and place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.

Assembling Tacos

  1. 4

    Build Your Tacos

    Lay a warm tortilla on a plate. Spoon a desired amount of cooked meat onto the center of the tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and sliced jalapeños. Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top as desired.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Serve the assembled tacos immediately with any extra toppings on the side for guests to customize their tacos.
