Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Meat

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat. Stir in taco seasoning and a splash of water, and simmer for 5 minutes. If using chicken, simply reheat in a separate pan. Carnitas can be warmed as per package instructions.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the meat is cooking, chop the lettuce, dice the tomatoes, and shred the cheddar cheese.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Tacos

    Take a hard corn taco shell or a soft tortilla. Fill with your choice of meat (ground beef, chicken, or carnitas). Top with chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve immediately with optional sides like salsa or guacamole.
