Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the certified Angus ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the beef is cooking, wash and chop the lettuce, dice the tomato, shred the carrots, and chop the cilantro.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Tacos

    In each hard corn taco shell, layer the cooked beef, followed by the lettuce, diced tomato, crispy carrots, chopped cilantro, and mixed cheese.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Arrange the assembled tacos on a platter and serve immediately, with optional toppings like salsa or sour cream if desired.
