Taco Ingredients

Method

Taco Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Meat

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef or chicken. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  2. 2

    Add Aromatics

    Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Season the Filling

    Sprinkle the cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper over the meat mixture. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Heat the Tortillas

    In a separate skillet or on a griddle, warm the corn tortillas until soft and pliable, about 30 seconds on each side.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Tacos

    Fill each tortilla with the meat mixture, then top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, and salsa as desired.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately while warm, with extra toppings on the side.
