Making tacos is simple and can be customized to your taste! Here’s a basic step-by-step guide:
Ingredients:
- Tortillas (corn or flour)
- Protein: Ground beef, chicken, pork, shrimp, or a plant-based alternative
- Seasoning: Taco seasoning (or make your own with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper)
- Toppings: Shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, chopped onions, cilantro, shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa
- Optional Additions: Jalapeños, refried beans, rice, hot sauce, lime wedges
Instructions:
- Cook the Protein:
- Heat a pan over medium heat and cook your chosen protein (e.g., ground beef or chicken).
- Once the meat is browned or fully cooked, drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add taco seasoning and a little water (about 1/4 cup) to the pan. Simmer for a few minutes until the water evaporates and the meat is coated with seasoning.
- Warm the Tortillas:
- Warm tortillas on a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and slightly browned. You can also wrap them in foil and heat them in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.
- Assemble the Tacos:
- Place the cooked protein in the center of the tortilla.
- Add your favorite toppings: lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheese, etc.
- Finish with a drizzle of salsa, sour cream, or guacamole if desired.
- Serve:
- Squeeze a bit of lime over the taco for an extra zesty flavor and enjoy!
