Ingredients

Taco Shells

Protein Filling

Taco Toppings

Preparation

Preparing the Taco Shells

1. Heat the Oil

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.

2. Fry the Tortillas

Once the oil is hot, carefully add one corn tortilla at a time. Fry for about 30 seconds on each side until golden and crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Making the Protein Filling

3. Cook the Meat

In a separate skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef or turkey. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.

4. Add Seasoning

Once the meat is browned, stir in taco seasoning and water. Reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes until the mixture is thickened.

Assembling the Tacos

5. Fill the Shells

Take a fried taco shell and fill it with a generous scoop of the meat mixture.

6. Add Toppings

Top the meat with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, sliced jalapeños, and fresh cilantro as desired.
