Preparing the Hamburger
​

Boil the Hamburger:

  • Place the ground beef in a pot and add enough water to cover it.

Chop the Meat:

  • Use a hamburger chopper to break the meat into very small, uniform pieces while it cooks.

Drain the Meat:

When the hamburger is almost done but still slightly pink, strain it well.​

Transfer to Skillet:

  • Move the drained hamburger to a skillet.

Season the Meat:

Add Fiesta Extra Fancy Taco Seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Mix and Chop:

Continue chopping the meat into smaller pieces while mixing in the seasonings.
Cook Until Done:

Cook until the meat is fully done and the flavors are absorbed. If it appears dry, add a little water and simmer for a few minutes.


​Assembling the Taco


Prepare Cheese Crust:

  • In a non-stick skillet, spread a full handful of shredded cheddar cheese into a circle.

Add Tortilla:

Flip the Cheese:

Watch Portion Sizes:
