Method

Preparing the Fillings

  1. 1

    Cook the Meat

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef, ground chicken, or carne adovada. Cook until browned (about 5-7 minutes).

  2. 2

    Season the Meat

    Stir in taco seasoning, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until well combined and heated through.

Preparing the Tacos

  1. 3

    Heat the Taco Shells

    If using hard shell tacos, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 5 minutes. If using soft flour tortillas, warm them in a skillet over low heat for 1-2 minutes per side.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Fill each taco shell with the cooked meat, then top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, sliced jalapeños, and guacamole as desired.
