Prep:
10 minutes
Cook:
15 minutes
Ingredients:
8 oz. raw extra-lean ground beef (at least 95% lean)
1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat Mexican-blend cheese, or more for topping
2 tbsp. finely chopped onion
1 tbsp. taco seasoning
4 street-taco-sized corn or flour tortillas
1/2 cup shredded lettuce
1/4 cup salsa
1/4 cup chopped tomatoes
Optional topping: light sour cream
Directions:
In a medium bowl, combine beef, cheese, onion, and taco seasoning. Mix thoroughly. Press one fourth of the meat mixture onto each tortilla.
Bring a large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Add two tortillas, meat-side down. Using a spatula, smash the tortillas flat into the pan. Cook for about 4 minutes, until meat is fully cooked.
Flip tortillas. Cook until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Clean skillet, if needed. Respray, and return to medium heat. Repeat with remaining two meat-topped tortillas.
Top evenly with lettuce, salsa, and tomatoes. Fold to form tacos.
