Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef or chicken and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

  2. 2

    Season the Meat

    Add taco seasoning to the cooked meat, along with a splash of water. Stir well and let it simmer for another 5 minutes, until the meat is fully coated and seasoned.

  3. 3

    Cook the Rice

    While the meat is cooking, prepare the rice according to package instructions.

  4. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

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

  5. 5

    Assemble the Buffet

    In a serving platter, arrange the seasoned meat, rice, refried beans, lettuce, Pico de Gallo, and cheddar cheese. Serve with warm tortillas for wrapping.
