Taco Preparation

1. Prepare Taco Shells

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the hard shell taco shells on a baking tray and heat them in the oven for about 5-7 minutes until they are warm and slightly crispy.

Filling Preparation

2. Cook the Ground Beef

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

3. Add Seasoning

Once the beef is cooked, drain any excess fat. Add the taco seasoning and water to the skillet. Stir to combine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.

Taco Assembly

4. Assemble the Tacos

Take each warm taco shell and fill them with an equal amount of the seasoned ground beef mixture. Top each taco with shredded lettuce, a dollop of crema, and a generous sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
