Method

Taco Shell Preparation

  1. 1

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable. Keep them warm in a clean kitchen towel until ready to use.

Protein Filling Preparation

  1. 2

    Cook the Ground Beef

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

  2. 3

    Add Seasoning

    Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat. Add the taco seasoning and water. Stir well and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the water has evaporated slightly.

Vegetable Preparation

  1. 4

    Chop the Vegetables

    While the beef is cooking, chop the lettuce, tomatoes, and onion. Set aside in separate bowls.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 5

    Fill the Tacos

    Take a warm tortilla and add a generous spoonful of the beef filling in the center. Top with chopped lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and shredded cheddar cheese.

  2. 6

    Add Condiments

    Finish off each taco with a dollop of sour cream, a spoonful of salsa, and a slice of avocado.
