Method

Tacos

  1. 1

    Cook the Meat

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef or shredded chicken. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes for beef or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

  2. 2

    Add Taco Seasoning

    Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the cooked meat. Stir well to combine and add a splash of water (about 1/4 cup) if needed. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.

  3. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

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

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place a portion of the meat mixture (about 1/4 cup) onto each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, jalapeños, and a dollop of sour cream. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

Chips and Salsa/Queso

  1. 5

    Serve the Chips

    Place the tortilla chips in a bowl or on a platter.

  2. 6

    Add Salsa or Queso

    Serve with salsa and/or queso dip on the side for dipping.
