Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add tortillas one at a time and fry 30 seconds per side until golden and crispy.
Step 2
Immediately drape each tortilla over an oven-safe bowl to form a shell. Let cool 2 minutes, then carefully remove.
Step 3
Add beef to the same skillet. Cook over medium-high, breaking up with a spoon, until no pink remains, ~6 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in taco seasoning and 2 tbsp water. Simmer 1 minute until sauce coats the beef.
Step 5
Place one tortilla shell on each plate. Layer lettuce inside, then top with seasoned beef.
Step 6
Scatter cheese and tomatoes over beef. Drizzle with salsa and dollop with sour cream.
