Oven Baked Crispy Beef And Cheese Tacos Recipe (Page 4 ) | November 30, 2023

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat oven to 425°

In a large skillet, add a small amount of oil and sauté onion, jalapeno, and green pepper over medium-high heat for several minutes until they begin to soften.

While that cooks, in a large bowl gently stir together ground beef, water, and all of the spices. Stir just until the water is absorbed. The mixture may look strange at first, but the meat will eventually mix with the water.

Add the minced garlic and ground beef mixture to the pan. Cook an additional 7-10 minutes until the liquid cooks off and the beef is browned through, stirring the mixture frequently to break up the meat.

To build the tacos: In a separate small skillet (about 7 inches in diameter), add 1 tbs oil and heat over medium heat. One at a time, add each tortilla to the skillet, cook for 15 seconds.

When tortilla is warm, remove from skillet and place oil side down on a plate or cutting board.

Fill half of each tortilla with about 2 tbs of the meat mixture and a generous pinch of the cheeses.

Fold in half, gently press to close, and place each taco on a greased baking sheet.

Repeat until all tortillas are filled, adding more oil to skillet if it becomes dry.
