In a large skillet over medium heat, cook 1 lb ground beef or turkey with ½ cup diced onion until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain excess grease. Stir in 1 recipe taco seasoning and ½ cup tomato sauce until meat is coated.
Simmer the meat mixture for 5 minutes.
Heat ½ cup neutral oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Fry 8-12 corn tortillas, about 30 seconds per side, until lightly crisped.
Remove tortillas to paper towels to drain excess oil.
Carefully fold each tortilla to create a taco shape while still warm.
Fill the crispy tortillas with the taco meat and desired toppings like shredded cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream.
- For extra crispy tortillas, ensure your oil is hot before frying.
- Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of cooked ground beef/turkey: 160°F (71°C).
- Store leftover taco meat in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
