Taco Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Season the Beef

    Add taco seasoning to the browned beef and stir well. If necessary, add a splash of water to help distribute the seasoning evenly. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Tacos

    While the beef is simmering, preheat the oven according to the taco shell package instructions. Place crunchy taco shells on a baking sheet and heat them in the oven for about 5-7 minutes until crispy.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Tacos

    Fill each crunchy taco with the seasoned beef mixture, then sprinkle with mild Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese. For the soft taco, fill it similarly or as desired.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the tacos with a side of Spanish rice and your choice of beans. Enjoy your Taco Especial!
