Easy Taco Recipes

I call these American Style Tacos because they are nothing like authentic Mexican style taco recipes. They are however very tasty and a great meal for any occasion.

Ingredients:

flour tortillas, heated
ground beef, browned and seasoned
refried beans, heated
lettuce, finely chopped
avocado, mashed or chopped (or guacamole)
tomatoes, diced
cheese, grated
onions, chopped
salsa
ranch dressing
sour cream

Directions:

I usually put each individual ingredient in its own dish and let everybody make their own taco exactly the way that they like it. Here are a few tips on the preparation of the individual ingredients.

• Heating Tortillas: To heat tortillas, heat a frying pan and place each tortilla in one at a time. Let it sit on either side for about 30 seconds. Wrap the warm tortillas in a dish towel to keep them hot. You can also heat them in the microwave, but they won't taste as good.

• Hamburger Meat: Season your hamburger meat with salt and pepper, or taco seasoning. You can also try other spices.

• Onion: if you don't like raw onion, throw the chopped onion in with the ground beef and let them cook together.
