Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup water (or beef broth)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted (for brushing)
- Optional toppings: sour cream, salsa, chopped cilantro, jalapeños
Instructions
- Cook the Filling:
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 small onion and sauté until softened (about 2-3 minutes). Add 1 lb ground beef, and cook until browned. Stir in taco seasoning and 1/2 cup water. Let simmer for 3-4 minutes until thickened. Stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and remove from heat. - Prepare the Tortillas:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush 4 flour tortillas with melted butter on both sides. Place the tortillas on a baking sheet. - Assemble the Tacos:
Spoon the taco filling evenly onto the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortillas tightly, securing the filling inside. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet. - Bake:
Bake the stuffed tortillas in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden and crispy. - Serve:
Let the tacos cool for a couple of minutes, then slice and serve with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, or jalapeños.
Notes
- Make it Spicy: Add sliced jalapeños to the filling or top with hot sauce if you like extra heat.
- Substitute Meat: You can substitute the ground beef with ground turkey, chicken, or even plant-based ground meat for a lighter or vegetarian version.
- Tortilla Choice: Use corn tortillas for a gluten-free option, or experiment with spinach tortillas for a fun twist.
- Make Ahead: You can assemble these tacos a day in advance and refrigerate them until ready to bake.
