Shape the Taco Shells
Once cooked, remove the tortillas and shape them into taco shells by gently folding them. You may place them in a taco rack or on a baking tray to maintain their shape.

Cook Ground Beef
In a separate skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it apart with a spatula until fully cooked (about 7-10 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Prepare Shredded Chicken
If using pre-cooked shredded chicken, simply heat it in a separate pan until warm. If cooking from scratch, boil chicken breasts for 15-20 minutes, shred, and season with salt and pepper.
