You will typically need to prepare a ground meat filling, such as beef or turkey, by browning it and then adding the included seasoning mix with water. While the meat simmers, you can warm the taco shells according to package directions. Assemble your tacos by filling the warmed shells with the seasoned meat and then adding your preferred toppings like cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, or sour cream. The salsa included in the kit can be served alongside.
