Notes

Tips & Tricks: Keep it crispy by ensuring your oil is hot enough before frying the tortillas, or warm them in an oven to maintain their crunch. Customize your toppings with fresh cilantro, diced tomatoes, sour cream, and avocado for extra flavor. Taste the beef mixture as it cooks and adjust seasonings to your liking. For gatherings, consider setting up a taco bar where guests can assemble their tacos with their favorite toppings. You can also freeze the seasoned beef mixture for up to three months.
