What I love the most about these is that they are so versatile! You can use any ground meat, any cheese and you can even make them plant-based. You can add veggies inside or add them on top afterwards. Serve them with favourites like salsa, guacamole and sour cream!

Ingredients

1 Tbsp

Extra-Virgin Olive Oil

Yellow Onion

finely diced

1 lb

Lean Ground Beef

2 tsp

Smoked Paprika

1 tsp

Chipotle Powder

1 tsp

Chili Powder

1/2 tsp

Garlic Powder

1/2 tsp

Sea Salt

1/2 tsp

Black Pepper

Small Tortillas

1 1/2 cups

Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Instructions

Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for three to four minutes or until they soften.

Add the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Mix in all of the spices. Cook for seven to eight minutes or until browned and cooked through.

Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

To assemble the tacos, add some cheese to one side of a tortilla followed by some cooked beef and more cheese. Fold the other side of the taco over and press down so it stays down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Bake for six to seven minutes per side or until browned and crispy. Serve and enjoy!

Notes: One serving is two tacos. Use any ground meat like chicken, turkey, pork or lamb. Make them plant-based by using a plant-based meat and cheese alternative. Use a gluten-free or grain-free tortilla if needed.
