Taco Plates Ingredients

Method

Taco Plates Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Protein

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef or turkey until browned. Drain any excess fat. Add taco seasoning and a splash of water, stirring to combine. Simmer for 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate pan, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat until soft and pliable, about 30 seconds on each side.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Taco Plates

    On each plate, place a portion of cooked rice and refried beans. Add the seasoned protein on top of the rice and beans. Garnish with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, jalapeños, and cilantro.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the taco plates with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
