Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef or turkey
  • ½ cup onion, diced
  • 1 recipe, gluten-free taco seasoning
  • ½ cup tomato sauce
  • 8-12 corn tortillas
  • ½ cup neutral oil
  • Shredded cheese
  • Lettuce, shredded
  • Tomatoes, diced
  • Sour cream

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook 1 lb ground beef or turkey with ½ cup diced onion until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Drain excess grease. Stir in 1 recipe taco seasoning and ½ cup tomato sauce until meat is coated.
  3. Simmer the meat mixture for 5 minutes.
  4. Heat ½ cup neutral oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  5. Fry 8-12 corn tortillas, about 30 seconds per side, until lightly crisped.
  6. Remove tortillas to paper towels to drain excess oil.
  7. Carefully fold each tortilla to create a taco shape while still warm.
  8. Fill the crispy tortillas with the taco meat and desired toppings like shredded cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream.

Notes

- For extra crispy tortillas, ensure your oil is hot before frying.
- Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of cooked ground beef/turkey: 160°F (71°C).
- Store leftover taco meat in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
