Ingredients

Taco Protein

Taco Seasoning

Taco Toppings

Preparation

Preparing the Protein

1. Choose Your Protein

Select either chicken breast or ground beef based on your preference.

2. Cook the Protein

If using chicken, dice the chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken for about 7-10 minutes until fully cooked. If using ground beef, cook in the skillet until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

3. Add Taco Seasoning

Once the protein is cooked, add the taco seasoning (chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes) to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spices are well incorporated.

Assembling the Tacos

4. Warm the Tortillas

In a separate skillet or on a griddle, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.

5. Build Your Taco

Place a warm tortilla on a plate. Spoon the cooked protein into the center of the tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, and sliced jalapeños as desired.

6. Serve

Repeat the assembly process for the remaining tortillas and serve the tacos immediately, allowing guests to customize their toppings.
