Taco Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Meat

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef or chicken until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Taco Seasoning

    Drain excess fat if necessary, then add taco seasoning to the meat. Stir in 3/4 cup of water and bring to a simmer. Cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly.

  3. 3

    Prepare Taco Shells

    While the meat is cooking, prepare the taco shells according to the package instructions for hard shells, or warm the soft tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat.

  4. 4

    Assemble Tacos

    Fill each taco shell or tortilla with the seasoned meat, then top with shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, and any additional toppings like sour cream or salsa.

  5. 5

    Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your delicious tacos!
