Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds ground beef or shredded chicken
  • 3 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 16 taco shells hard or soft
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 3 large tomatoes diced
  • 1 cup sour cream

  • 1 cup guacamole

  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 1 cup black beans drained and rinsed

Method
 

  1. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up as it cooks, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Drain excess fat, then stir in taco seasoning and 1/2 cup water. Simmer for 5 minutes until sauce thickens.
  3. Warm taco shells according to package directions, or wrap tortillas in foil and heat in a 300°F oven for 10 minutes.
  4. Arrange all toppings in separate bowls and set out on a table or counter with serving spoons.
  5. Place the warm meat in a serving dish and set out with the shells and toppings.
  6. Let guests build their own tacos with their preferred combination of ingredients, squeezing lime over the top.
