Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef 80/20
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 1/2 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 large tomato diced
  • Sour cream for serving
  • lime cut into wedges
  • Fresh cilantro chopped (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the ground beef with taco seasoning, onion, and garlic until just combined.
  3. Spread the beef in a thin, even layer on the sheet pan.
  4. Bake 12 minutes. Break into crumbles with a spatula, spread out again, and bake 5 more minutes until browned.
  5. Sprinkle cheese over the hot beef. Return to the oven for 2 minutes until melted.
  6. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
  7. Fill tortillas with the cheesy beef and add lettuce, tomato, sour cream, cilantro, and lime.

Notes

Spread the beef thin so it browns and crisps instead of steaming. Do not overmix the seasoned beef or it turns tough. Warm the tortillas so they fold without cracking.
