Preparation

Preparation

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. 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. 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

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

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.

6. Add Condiments

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

7. Serve

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