Method
Preparation Instructions
Cook the Meat
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
Add Seasoning
Drain excess grease from the cooked meat. Add taco seasoning and water. Stir to combine and let simmer for 5 minutes.
Prepare Taco Shells
While the meat is simmering, prepare your taco shells according to package instructions (if using hard shells, bake or toast them).
Assemble Tacos
Fill each taco shell with a generous amount of the seasoned beef, followed by shredded lettuce and cheese.
Add Toppings
Top the tacos with sour cream, salsa, and sliced jalapeños as desired.
Serve
Serve immediately while the taco shells are warm.
