Taco Bell's Crunchy Taco Recipe

Mexican-American · Main course · 20 min total

A classic crunchy taco with seasoned beef, crisp lettuce, shredded cheese, and diced tomatoes, just like your favorite fast-food version.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning mix
• 2/3 cup water
• 4 hard taco shells
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)

Instructions

1. 1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain excess fat.
2. 2. Add the taco seasoning mix and water to the skillet. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
3. 3. While the beef simmers, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the taco shells on a baking sheet and warm for 3-5 minutes.
4. 4. Fill each taco shell with the seasoned beef, then top with lettuce, cheese, and diced tomatoes. Add sour cream if desired. Serve immediately.

Tips

• Use 80/20 ground beef for best flavor.
• Warm the taco shells to prevent cracking.
• Store leftover beef in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
