Taco Filling Preparation

Cook the Protein
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef or shredded chicken. Cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spatula for even cooking if using ground beef.

Add Seasoning
Once the protein is cooked, drain any excess fat if necessary. Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly.

Warm the Tortillas
In a separate skillet or microwave, warm the corn or flour tortillas until they are pliable. This should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute in the microwave, or a few minutes on low heat in a skillet.
