Yield:
4 Servings

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef

1 packet of taco seasoning

8-10 taco shells

1 cup shredded cheese

1 cup diced tomatoes

1 cup shredded lettuce

1/2 cup sour cream

1 tablespoon salsa

Directions

Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.

Once the beef is browned, add the taco seasoning and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the seasoning is fragrant.

Warm the taco shells according to the package instructions. This will help them stay crispy and prevent them from becoming soggy.

Assemble the taco bowls by spooning the beef mixture into the taco shells, followed by a sprinkle of cheese, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and a dollop of sour cream.

Serve immediately and enjoy!

Storage & Reheating

To store leftovers, let the taco bowls cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. When reheating, simply microwave or oven-heat the taco bowls until warmed through.
