Tacos are a traditional Mexican dish that has become popular worldwide. They consist of a folded or rolled tortilla, which is typically made from corn or wheat flour. The tortilla is then filled with various ingredients, creating a delicious and customizable handheld meal. Tacos can be served with a wide variety of fillings, making them a versatile and beloved food option for people of all ages. Making them at home is no big deal and you too can make them just by following the process given below:

Ingredients: (For the filling)

• 1 lb (450g) ground beef or chicken (you can also use shredded chicken or pork)
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 packet of taco seasoning mix (store-bought or homemade)
• 1/2 cup water
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the toppings:

• Shredded lettuce or cabbage
• Diced tomatoes
• Shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
• Sliced jalapenos (optional, if you like spicy tacos)
• Sour cream or Greek yogurt
• Salsa or pico de gallo
• Chopped cilantro
• Lime wedges

For the taco shells:

• Hard taco shells (store-bought)
• Alternatively, you can use soft tortillas, either corn or flour, for a different style of tacos.

Instructions:

1. In a large skillet or frying pan, heat some oil over medium-high heat.

2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they become translucent and fragrant.

3. Add the ground beef or chicken to the pan and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until it is browned and cooked through.

4. Stir in the taco seasoning mix and water. Simmer for a few minutes until the mixture thickens and absorbs the flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. While the filling is simmering, prepare the toppings by chopping and slicing the vegetables.

6. Warm the taco shells according to the package instructions. If you are using soft tortillas, you can quickly heat them on a dry skillet or in the microwave.

7. Assemble your tacos by placing a spoonful of the filling into each taco shell or tortilla.

8. Top with shredded lettuce or cabbage, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, jalapenos (if using), a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, salsa, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

9. Squeeze a lime wedge over the top for a burst of fresh flavor.

10. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious homemade tacos!
