Taco Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

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

  2. 2

    Add Taco Seasoning

    Stir in the taco seasoning and follow package instructions, typically adding a little water and simmering for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare Taco Shells

    While the beef is cooking, prepare the taco shells according to package instructions, either baking or warming them in the oven.

  4. 4

    Assemble Tacos

    Once the beef is ready and the shells are warm, begin assembling the tacos by adding a layer of seasoned beef to each shell, followed by shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, jalapeños, cilantro, and diced avocado.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately while they are warm, with extra toppings on the side if desired.
