Taco Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ground Beef Tacos

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef, salt, pepper, and taco seasoning. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Pulled Chicken Tacos

    If using pre-cooked pulled chicken, simply season with taco seasoning and heat it in a separate skillet. If cooking from raw, season chicken with taco seasoning, add water, and cook on low until tender, about 20 minutes. Shred with two forks.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Tacos

    Fill taco shells with either ground beef or pulled chicken. Top with diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, and chopped fresh cilantro.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the tacos on a plate with extra toppings on the side if desired.
