Notes
- Use lean ground beef to reduce the amount of fat you need to drain.
- Feel free to swap out the chicken broth with beef broth or water if needed.
- Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave before assembling for extra flavor and pliability.
- Customize the tacos with your favorite toppings like salsa, sour cream, or jalapeños.
- Leftover taco meat can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for later use.
