Tacos

Overview
This is a semi home made meal since I did get the store brought taco shells and taco seasoning. This is my boys favorite dinner and they like it both with hard or soft taco shell. I like to get all the fixings ready ahead of time and let my boys assemble the tacos on their own. This is a good way to have a taco buffet and would not take much time. I used both beef and chicken for the tacos.

My Taco Buffet


Ingredients
Ground beef - 1 pound
Chicken breast - 1 pound - cut into small slices
Taco seasoning - 2 packets( one for beef and one for Chicken)
Store brought Taco shells( soft shells can be used too)

For the toppings
One large onion chopped finely
Cilantro chopped finely - a handful
Tomatoes - 1 cup finely chopped
Lettuce - finely chopped
Re fried beans - 1 can
Sour cream   - 1 cup
Cut lemon or lime wedges optional
Mixed grated cheese - 1 cup
Salsa - one cup

Steps
1. Brown the ground beef and chicken in two separate pans.  for the Chicken you would need to add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

2. When  the meat browns add the taco seasoning and enough water and cook for few minutes in low heat.

3.Transfer to serving bowls to make tacos.

Assemble tacos with toppings - Re fried beans, meat, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, sour cream and cheese and enjoy
