Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey for a healthier option)

1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade seasoning: 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, salt & pepper to taste)

1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

1/2 cup diced onions

1 avocado, diced

1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

12 small corn tortillas

Cooking oil (for frying)

Fresh cilantro (for garnish, optional)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Cook the Meat: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef or turkey. Drain any excess fat. Stir in the taco seasoning and diced tomatoes. Add a splash of water if necessary. Simmer for about 5-7 minutes until the mixture is thick and flavorful.

    Prepare the Tortillas: Heat a small amount of cooking oil in another skillet over medium-high heat. Fry each corn tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until they are crispy, but not too hard. Drain on paper towels and set aside.

      Assemble the Tacos: On each crispy tortilla, layer the seasoned meat, followed by shredded lettuce, cheese, diced onions, and avocado. Top with a generous dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.

        Garnish and Serve: Garnish each taco with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.

          Enjoy: Gather your family for a fun taco night! Let everyone assemble their tacos with their favorite toppings and enjoy this crispy delight together.
