Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Ground Beef

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.

  2. 2

    Add Taco Seasoning

    Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat and add the taco seasoning. Stir well to coat the beef, adding 1/4 cup of water. Simmer for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate pan, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Toppings

    Chop the tomatoes, shred the lettuce, and slice the avocado. Set aside.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each warm tortilla, spread a layer of refried beans, followed by the seasoned beef, shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, and shredded cheese.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    Top with a dollop of sour cream, slices of avocado, and cilantro. For extra heat, add sliced jalapeños.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
