Ingredients

– 1 packet taco seasoning
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend works great)
– 1 cup cream cheese
– ½ cup milk
– 1 cup diced tomatoes
– 1 cup shredded lettuce
– Sliced jalapeños (optional)
– Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
– Sour cream (for serving)
Equipment Needed
– Skillet for cooking the meat
– Mixing bowl for the cheese sauce
– Baking dish (if you want to keep your taco shells warm)
– Cooking spoon and spatula
– Knife and chopping board for the veggies
Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. I break it up with a spatula and cook it until it’s browned, which usually takes about 5 to 7 minutes. Then, I sprinkle in the taco seasoning and mix everything well, adding a splash of water to help it stick. The aroma is absolutely mouthwatering! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
