Cook the ground beef or turkey in a skillet over medium heat until fully browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add taco seasoning to the cooked meat and follow package instructions, usually adding a little water and simmering for 5 minutes.
While the meat is cooking, wash and chop the fresh vegetables: lettuce, tomatoes, and cilantro.
Prepare the toppings by placing shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, sliced jalapeños, and chopped cilantro in separate bowls for easy access.
Warm the taco shells or tortillas according to package instructions, usually in the oven or microwave.
