Instructions
- Cook the Protein: Whether you’re using beef, chicken, or beans, start by heating a pan with a drizzle of oil. If it’s beef or chicken, brown it until fully cooked; if it’s beans, warm them up and season them with taco spices.
- Prepare the Taco Shells: If you’re using flour tortillas, you can lightly warm them on a skillet or in the microwave. For corn tortillas, you might want to pan-fry them to give them a nice crunch. If you’re going the lettuce route, just wash and dry those leaves! Easy-peasy.
- Load it Up: Now comes the fun part! Grab your crunchy or soft taco shell and load it with your cooked protein. Go ahead and sprinkle on your choice of toppings—get creative!
- Squeeze Some Lime: Finish it off with a squeeze of lime for that zesty flavor. Yum!
- Enjoy: Grab a napkin, dig in, and relish every single bite!
