Method

Preparing the Taco Shells

1

Cook the Ground Beef

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula. Drain excess fat.

2

Add Taco Seasoning

Stir in the taco seasoning and a splash of water. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens.

3

Prepare Corn Tortillas

In a separate pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Once hot, slightly fry the corn tortillas until they are pliable but not crispy, about 30 seconds on each side.

4

Shape Taco Shells

While the tortillas are still warm, gently fold them into a taco shape and hold for a few seconds until they hold their shape.

5

Layer the Refried Beans

Spread a layer of refried beans on the inside of each taco shell.

6

Add Beef and Cheese

Fill each taco shell with the seasoned ground beef and top with shredded cheddar cheese. Set aside.

Adding Toppings

7

Prepare Vegetables

8
