Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Season the Beef

    Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat. Add the taco seasoning and stir to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the seasoning is well incorporated.

  3. 3

    Prepare Taco Shells

    While the beef is cooking, prepare the taco shells according to package instructions. Usually, they need to be baked for 5-10 minutes until crispy.

  4. 4

    Assemble Tacos

    Fill each taco shell with the seasoned beef, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream.

  5. 5

    Prepare Enchiladas

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread a thin layer of refried beans on each corn tortilla. Add a portion of the seasoned beef and a sprinkle of shredded cheese, then roll up tightly.

  6. 6

    Bake Enchiladas

    Place the rolled enchiladas seam-side down in a baking dish. Pour additional enchilada sauce if desired, and top with more shredded cheese. Bake for 20 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted.

  7. 7

    Serve with Rice and Beans

    Serve the tacos and enchiladas with a side of cooked rice and refried beans. Garnish with more lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream if desired.
