Mexican Tacos Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Slice the onion, then add it to the skillet along with the ground beef and ground turkey. Break the meat apart with a spoon and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned.
  2. Add 1 can of Rotel tomatoes (or 1 cup diced tomatoes), 0.5 teaspoon cumin, 0.5 teaspoon chipotle chili powder (or 1 teaspoon chili powder), 0.5 teaspoon oregano, and 2/3 cup water. Stir well to combine.
  3. Reduce heat to medium and simmer the meat mixture uncovered for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  4. While the meat cooks, prepare the toppings: chop the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces, slice the avocados, chop the onion, roughly chop the cilantro, roughly chop the black olives, and tear or chop the salad leaves.
  5. Preheat oven to 175°C (347°F). Place the corn taco shells on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes until warmed and crisped.
  6. Place the warm taco shells on a serving plate.
  7. Fill each taco shell with the meat mixture, sprinkle with taco cheese, and top with salsa sauce, sour cream, tomatoes, avocado, onion, cilantro, olives, and salad leaves.

Enjoy your meal!
