Method

Tacos

    Prepare the Meat

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground chicken or beef until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.

    Add taco seasoning to the meat and mix well. Follow package instructions for adding water if needed, and simmer for about 5 minutes.

    Warm taco shells according to package instructions. Fill each shell with seasoned meat, then top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, and chopped cilantro.
