Ingredients
Pantry
8 Corn Tortillas
1 package Taco Seasoning
1 Tomato
Fridge and Freezer
1 cup Cheddar Cheese
1 lb Ground Beef, thawed
1 8-oz bag Shredded Lettuce
½ cup Salsa
½ cup Sour Cream
Directions
Wash hands with soap and water. Wash and chop the tomato.
To heat corn tortillas, you can use a dry skillet or pan over medium-high heat, heating each side for 10-20 seconds until soft and warm, or you can use a microwave with damp paper towels.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the beef. Add the taco seasoning to the meat and continue to cook until browned (add ¼ cup water if it seems too dry).
Divide the taco meat between tortillas and top with cheese, tomato and lettuce. Serve each taco with 1 tbs salsa and sour cream. This recipe makes 8 tacos. 1 serving = 2 tacos.
*Taco seasoning may contain gluten; check the ingredients. You can substitute 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp oregano, 1 tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp salt, and ½ tsp cumin.
