Classic American Taco

How to make Classic American Taco Recipe - This is probably what you envision when you hear the word “taco,” and it is the only taco in this book specifically recommended for the baked shell. Of course, you can use any shell you like, any time, but something about this taco begs for the crunch that only comes with a baked shell.

Makes 8-10 tacos

Ingredients:
½ pound ground beef
1½ Tablespoons Classic Taco Seasoning
½ cup water
1 cup sour cream
2 cups iceberg lettuce, shredded
2 plum tomatoes, diced
Baked Tortillas
Mild Salsa, to be served on the side

Method:
Brown ground beef in a large pan over medium-high heat, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess grease, add Classic Taco Seasoning and ½ cup water, and simmer until water is mostly evaporated, about 6-8 minutes.

Layer 1 teaspoon of sour cream on the bottom of a tortilla (sour cream on the bottom helps hold ingredients together when the shell begins to crack!). Top with lettuce, tomato, and beef.

Serve with Mild Salsa (or Hot Salsa, if preferred!) on the side.

Note:
Many people enjoy taco sauce, especially if using soft tortillas. See Mild Taco Sauce and Hot Taco Sauce for options!
