Servings: 4 -6 servings

Ingredients

  • 12 small corn tortillas
  • 1 lb ground beef chicken or turkey or just use a drained can of pinto beans
  • 1 cup treated cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

optional toppings

  • black beans
  • guacamole
  • black olives
  • pickled jalapenos
  • green onions
  • cilantro
  • salsa

Instructions

  • In a skillet, cook the ground beef until browned over medium high heat.
  • Drain any extra oil from the meat.
  • Mix taco seasoning with add water and cornstarch, pour over beef and stir on low heat until the sauce thickened.
  • Heat small corn tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds so they are soft enough to fold without breaking.
  • Fill the tacos with beef, add in beans if desired, and add grated cheese, then stack them overlapping on a baking sheet, lay a strip of foil over top to hold them down if they start popping up. I rolled a piece of foil the length of the baking sheet and just laid it on top of the tacos.
  • You can add in some sliced black olives, jalapenos, green onions, or your favorite taco toppings, or you can add them on top tacos after they are baked.
  • Place the tacos in the oven for 5-10 minutes until the cheese has melted and they are lightly toasted.
  • You can prep them out and place them in the fridge covered, then heated in the oven. This makes them perfect to have them all ready one once.
