Taco Filling

Taco Shells

Method

Prepare Taco Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Ground Beef

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

  2. 2

    Add Taco Seasoning

    Once the beef is browned, drain excess fat if necessary. Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the beef and stir to combine.

  3. 3

    Add Water

    Pour in the water and stir well. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and let it cook for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Prepare Taco Shells

  1. 4

    Heat Taco Shells

    While the beef is simmering, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place taco shells on a baking sheet and warm in the oven for 5-7 minutes until crispy.

Prepare Toppings

  1. 5

    Chop Vegetables

    In the meantime, wash and chop the lettuce and tomatoes. Place shredded lettuce in a bowl and diced tomatoes in another.

  2. 6

    Arrange Toppings

    Set up a toppings station with shredded cheese, sour cream, sliced jalapeños, and guacamole so everyone can customize their tacos.

Assemble Tacos

  1. 7

    Fill Taco Shells

    Once everything is prepared, take the heated taco shells and fill them with a generous scoop of the beef mixture.

  2. 8

    Add Toppings

    Top the beef with your choice of lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, jalapeños, and guacamole.
