Taco Ingredients

Method

Taco Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Meat

    In a large 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 Seasoning

    Once the meat is browned, drain any excess fat. Stir in the taco seasoning and cook according to package instructions, usually adding water and simmering for a few 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. Alternatively, you can wrap them in foil and warm them in the oven.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each warmed tortilla, add the desired amount of seasoned meat, followed by shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Top each taco with slices of avocado for added flavor and nutrition.
