To prepare, you will typically brown your choice of ground meat or a plant-based alternative. Then, you add water and the included seasoning mix to create a savory filling. While the filling simmers, warm the soft tortillas according to package directions, usually in a skillet or microwave. Once the filling is ready and the tortillas are warm, you can assemble your tacos by spooning the filling into the tortillas and adding your favorite toppings like cheese, lettuce, or sour cream.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to making tacos from scratch, this kit offers pre-portioned seasonings and tortillas, saving time on preparation. The seasoning mix provides a consistent flavor profile, while homemade versions allow for more customization of spices. The tortillas are designed for softness and pliability, making them easy to fold.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused tortillas in an airtight container or their original packaging to maintain freshness. Keep the seasoning mix and salsa in a cool, dry place. Ensure all components are sealed properly to prevent them from drying out or losing flavor before your next use.
