<h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>
Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (356°F). Place the Nacho Cheese Doritos flavored tortillas on an oven-safe plate, and warm them in the oven for about 3-5 minutes, or just until they are slightly crispy but still pliable. This will help them hold their shape better when you add the fillings.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>
While the tortillas are warming up, cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until it's thoroughly browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>
Lower the heat to medium-low and add the taco seasoning mix and water to the skillet with the beef. Stir the mixture well and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and the beef is well coated with the seasoning. Remove from the heat.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>
Take the warmed tortillas out of the oven. Carefully, to avoid breaking them, assemble the tacos by evenly distributing the seasoned ground beef onto each tortilla.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>
Next, add the shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheddar cheese on top of the beef in each taco. If desired, add a dollop of sour cream and a drizzle of hot sauce for extra flavor.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>
Serve immediately while still warm. Enjoy your homemade Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Tacos with a side of your favorite salsa or guacamole for dipping.
