Taco Ingredients
Method
Taco Preparation
Prepare the Taco Meat
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
Season the Meat
Add taco seasoning to the browned beef. Stir in 1/4 cup of water and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Warm the Taco Shells
While the meat is simmering, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place taco shells on a baking tray and warm in the oven for 5-7 minutes.
Prepare the Refried Beans
In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the refried beans until heated through, about 3-5 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Assemble the Tacos
Take a warmed taco shell and layer with refried beans, then add a generous portion of seasoned ground beef. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.
Add Toppings
Finish by adding sliced jalapeños and fresh cilantro on top. Adjust toppings according to personal preference.
Serve
Serve tacos immediately while still warm. Enjoy your Tacos Monday!
