Taco Ingredients

Method

Taco Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Filling

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add chopped onions and sauté until translucent. Add ground beef or chicken, salt, cumin, and chili powder. Cook until the meat is browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Warm the Tortillas

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

  3. 3

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each tortilla, layer a spoonful of refried beans, the cooked meat mixture, chopped cilantro, and any additional toppings such as salsa and shredded cheese. Squeeze fresh lime juice on top.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges and extra salsa on the side.
