Method

Taco Shells

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oil

    In a deep skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 2

    Fry the Tortillas

    Once the oil is hot, carefully add one corn tortilla at a time. Fry each side for about 30 seconds until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to remove and drain on paper towels.

Taco Filling

  1. 3

    Cook the Ground Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Seasoning and Water

    Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the cooked beef and pour in the water. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Toppings

  1. 5

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the beef is simmering, prepare your toppings. Wash and chop the lettuce and tomatoes, and set aside the cheese, sour cream, and jalapeños.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place a fried taco shell on a plate, spoon in the beef mixture, and top with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, and jalapeños as desired.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the taco shells are warm and crispy.
