Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Meat

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef or chicken until browned, stirring occasionally.

  2. 2

    Add Seasoning

    Drain any excess fat, then add the taco seasoning mix and follow the package instructions (usually adding water and simmering). Cook until the meat is well-coated and heated through.

    Prepare Taco Shells

    While the meat is cooking, prepare the taco shells or tortillas according to the package instructions.

  4. 4

    Assemble Tacos

    Once the meat is ready, spoon it into the taco shells or tortillas. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, jalapeños, and fresh cilantro if desired.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your favorite taco toppings and sides.
