Taco Filling

Taco Shells

Method

Prepare Taco Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, approximately 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  3. 3

    Season the Mixture

    Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the meat and vegetables, then pour in the water. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low. Allow it to cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Prepare Taco Shells

  1. 5

    Warm the Taco Shells

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the taco shells on a baking sheet and warm them in the oven for about 5-7 minutes until crispy.

Assemble Tacos

  1. 6

    Fill the Shells

    Remove the warmed taco shells from the oven. Spoon the taco filling into each shell, filling them generously.

  2. 7

    Add Toppings

    Top each taco with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, and sliced jalapeños as desired.
