Ingredients

Preparation

1. 1.Wash the green bell pepper and slice it into thin strips, removing the seeds and stem.
2. 2.Peel the yellow onion and slice it into thin strips.
3. 3.Grate the cheddar cheese to use as a topping for the tacos.
4. 4.Place the ground beef in a mixing bowl and season with the salt and black pepper, mixing to combine evenly.
5. 5.Warm the taco shells as instructed on the packaging (either in a pan or microwave) to prepare them for assembly.

Instructions

1. 1.Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil, ensuring the surface is evenly coated.

4. 4.Reduce the heat to low and layer the grated cheddar cheese over the cooked beef patties, allowing it to melt slightly.
5. 5.Assemble each taco by placing one cheesy beef patty into a heated taco shell, then topping with the sautéed peppers and onions.
6. 6.Serve immediately while warm, ensuring the tacos are loaded with flavour.
