Method

Preparing Taco Filling

1

Cook the Meat

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground chicken or beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon.

2

Season the Meat

Add the taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the meat is fully cooked and the flavors are well blended.

Combine Ingredients

In a medium bowl, combine diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, fresh cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.

Making Guacamole

4

Mash the Avocados

In a bowl, cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into the bowl. Mash with a fork until smooth or desired consistency.

5

Add Flavorings

Add lime juice, minced garlic, salt, diced tomatoes, and fresh cilantro to the mashed avocado. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.

Assembling Tacos

6

Fill Taco Shells

Warm the taco shells according to package instructions. Fill each taco shell with a generous amount of the cooked meat mixture.

Add Toppings

Top each taco with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese. Serve with salsa and guacamole on the side.
