Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the Protein

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef or chicken, and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Season the Protein

    Add taco seasoning to the cooked meat along with 1/4 cup of water. Stir, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens.

  3. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    If using soft tortillas, warm them in a pan or microwave until pliable. For crispy tacos, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the tortillas for about 10 minutes until they are crispy.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Fill each tortilla with the seasoned protein, then top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, sliced jalapeños, and chopped cilantro as desired.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your favorite salsa or hot sauce on the side.
