Preparation

  1. In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until thoroughly cooked; drain. Stir in water and taco seasoning mix; heat to boiling. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened.

  2. Divide half of cheese among heated shells; top with beef and remaining cheese. Top with guacamole, spicy queso blanco sauce, bacon, tomatoes, jalapeños, and green onions.

Expert Tips

  • To cut down on prep and bypass the cutting board entirely, swap in 1 cup prepared pico de gallo for the tomatoes, jalapeños, and green onions. 

  • To tame the heat a bit, use Old El Paso™ Creamy Queso Sauce or sour cream in place of the Old El Paso™ Spicy Queso Blanco Sauce.
