Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Ingredients

    Chop the red bell pepper, red onion, and tomatoes into small pieces. Dice the avocado and set aside. Shred the lettuce and keep it fresh.

  2. 2

    Cook the Protein

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef (or turkey) and brown it for about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  3. 3

    Season the Meat

    Add taco seasoning and water to the browned meat. Stir well and let it simmer for about 10 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Cooking the Tortillas

  1. 4

    Heat the Tortillas

    In a separate pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the corn tortillas one at a time and cook for about 30 seconds on each side until warm and pliable.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Tacos

    Take a warm tortilla and add a scoop of the seasoned meat, followed by the chopped vegetables, shredded lettuce, diced avocado, and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.

  2. 6

    Add Condiments

    Top with a dollop of sour cream, salsa, and a squeeze of lime juice.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Repeat the process for all tortillas and serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.
