Choose your protein and prepare it. If using ground beef, cook it in a skillet over medium heat until browned. If using chicken, sauté the diced chicken breast in olive oil until cooked through. For black beans, simply drain and rinse them.

Prepare the Protein

Add taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper to your cooked protein. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Season the Protein

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are pliable.

Prepare the Taco Shells

Take a warm corn tortilla and fill it with your choice of the prepared protein. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, and chopped cilantro.

Build the Tacos

Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Enjoy your delicious tacos!
