Method
Protein Preparation
Cook the Protein
Choose either chicken, beef, or pork. Cut into small pieces if using chicken or pork. In a skillet over medium heat, add the chosen protein and cook until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).
Add Seasoning
Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the cooked protein. Mix well to ensure the meat is evenly coated. Add a splash of water if needed to help the seasoning adhere, and let simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Taco Assembly
Warm the Tortillas
In a separate skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.
Assemble the Tacos
Take a warm tortilla and add a generous amount of the seasoned protein in the center. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, and sliced jalapeños to taste.
Serving
Serve
Serve the tacos warm, either on a plate or in a taco holder. Enjoy with additional toppings and your favorite hot sauce.
