How to Make Moms Tacos

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease and set aside.
  2. Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Carefully place 1 corn tortilla in the hot oil and use tongs to gently press and shape it into a taco shell. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with remaining tortillas. (You'll need approximately 12-15 corn tortillas, depending on your family size).
  3. Remove the cooked tortillas from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  4. Fill each taco shell with the seasoned ground beef. Add your favorite toppings such as shredded lettuce (1 cup), diced tomatoes (1 cup), shredded cheese (1 cup), and your favorite salsa.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy!
