Taco Shells

Filling

Toppings

Method

Preparing the Taco Shells

  1. 1

    Fry the Tortillas

    In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, fry each corn tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until they are crispy and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Cooking the Filling

  1. 2

    Brown the Beef

    In the same skillet, add the ground beef and cook over medium heat until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  2. 3

    Add Aromatics

    Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 4

    Season the Mixture

    Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

  4. 5

    Add Sauce

    Pour in the tomato sauce and stir until everything is well coated. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes or until thickened.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 6

    Fill the Shells

    Spoon the beef mixture into each crispy taco shell.

  2. 7

    Add Toppings

    Top each taco with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, and sliced jalapeños as desired.
