Equipment

Ingredients
  

Beef Mixture

  • 1 pound 90% lean ground beef
  • 1 ounce taco seasoning 1 packet
  • cup water
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

Tacos

  • 8 6-inch whole wheat flour tortillas room temperature

Instructions
 

Cooking Method

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place a large sheet pan on the middle rack as the oven preheats.
  • Set a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the taco seasoning and water and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring often, until thickened, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the cheese. Cover half of each tortilla with the ground beef mixture and fold in half. Carefully remove the sheet pan from the oven and add the folded tacos.
  • Bake until golden brown on the first side, about 5 minutes, then flip and bake again until golden on the other side, about 4 more minutes.
  • Serve with onion, tomatoes, and lettuce for topping along with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.
