Taco Filling

Taco Shells

Method

Prepare Taco Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Meat or Substitute

    In a large skillet, cook the ground beef or plant-based substitute over medium-high heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  2. 2

    Add Veggies and Seasoning

    Add the chopped onion and chopped bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they are softened. Stir in the taco seasoning and water, and bring to a simmer.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Filling

    Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the water has evaporated and the flavors meld together.

Prepare Taco Shells

  1. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate skillet or on a griddle, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable. Keep them warm in a tortilla warmer or wrapped in a clean kitchen towel.

Assemble Tacos

  1. 5

    Fill the Tortillas

    Take a warm tortilla and spoon a generous amount of the taco filling into the center.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, sliced jalapeños, and avocado to taste.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Fold the tortilla over the filling and serve immediately with your favorite salsa or hot sauce.
