Taco Shells

Filling

Method

Prepare Taco Shells

  1. 1

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Fry Tortillas

    Once the oil is hot, carefully add one corn tortilla at a time and fry for about 30 seconds on each side until crispy and golden. Remove them from the skillet and let them drain on paper towels.

Prepare Filling

  1. 3

    Cook Beef

    In a separate skillet, add the ground beef and cook over medium-high heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Onion and Garlic

    Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 5

    Season and Simmer

    Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Bring to a simmer and let cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Assemble Tacos

  1. 6

    Fill Taco Shells

    Take the crispy taco shells and fill each with the seasoned beef mixture.

  2. 7

    Add Toppings

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

  3. 8

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your favorite salsa or additional toppings on the side.
