Welcome to the Madness, this month we honor our departing staff member, Dorrie, by creating her easy-to-make and delicious tacos.
You will need the following ingredients:
• 1 lb. hamburger
• 1 onion
• 1 tomato
• 1 head of lettuce
• 1 packet of shredded cheese
• 1 8oz. container of sour cream
• 1 packet of taco seasoning
• 1 pack of taco shells
Directions:
Place hamburger in pan and begin browning, breaking up the meat into smaller pieces as it cooks. Meanwhile, dice the onion and add it to the cooking hamburger. As this continues to cook, dice up the tomato, shred the lettuce and set aside. When meat is done, drain off the grease into an appropriate container for disposal later. Once drained, return the meat to the pan, add the taco seasoning and the amount of water indicated on the seasoning instructions (usually ½ to ¾ cup. Continue to heat and stir this mixture until well blended. You can now spoon some of the meat into a taco shell and add cheese, tomato, lettuce and sour cream. You are ready to enjoy your taco!
