02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Cook and Season Beef

Start by browning the ground beef in a large nonstick skillet. Once it’s cooked through, drain any excess fat. Then, add the Recipe Ready Southwest Blend, taco seasoning, and a little water to the pan. Let it cook over medium-high heat, stirring now and then, until the veggies are nice and tender—about 5 minutes. Warm up your tortillas and taco shells, then fill them with the beef mixture. Top everything off with taco sauce, shredded lettuce, and a dollop of sour cream. Enjoy!

Storage & leftovers

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Keep toppings separate to maintain freshness. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave before serving.
