Method

5 steps 15 min prep · 15 min cook

Prep

Step 1. Set out the Lettuce, Tomato and Cheddar Cheese in separate bowls.

Cook

Step 2. Cook the Ground Beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up, until browned with no pink inside, about 8 minutes. Spoon off excess fat.
Step 3. Stir in the Taco Seasoning, Salt and Water. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the beef is coated and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 4 minutes.
Step 4. Meanwhile, warm the Taco Shells and Tortilla according to their package directions until crisp and pliable, respectively, about 3 minutes.

Finish & serve

Step 5. Fill the shells and tortillas with the beef. Add the lettuce, tomato and cheese, then spoon on the Sour Cream.
