Taco Shells

Meat Filling

Method

Prepare Taco Shells

  1. 1

    Heat the Oil

    Pour the vegetable oil into a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat until hot.

  2. 2

    Fry the Tortillas

    Carefully place one corn tortilla in the hot oil. Fry for about 30 seconds on each side until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

  3. 3

    Season with Salt

    Once fried, place the tortillas on a paper towel to absorb excess oil and sprinkle with salt while still hot.

Prepare Meat Filling

  1. 4

    Cook the Ground Beef

    In a large skillet, add the ground beef and cook over medium heat until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.

  2. 5

    Add Taco Seasoning

    Once the beef is browned, stir in the taco seasoning mix and water. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.

Assemble Tacos

  1. 6

    Fill Taco Shells

    Take a crispy taco shell and fill it with a generous scoop of the meat filling.

  2. 7

    Add Toppings

    Top the meat with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and sliced jalapeños according to your preference.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately while they're hot and enjoy!
