Description

Savor the warmth and richness of ground beef tortillas, a delightful blend of savory beef, vibrant vegetables, and fresh toppings wrapped in soft tortillas.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 8 small tortillas
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • 1 cup guacamole
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Start with the beef: In a cast iron skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until it’s browned. Don’t forget to stir occasionally to break it apart and ensure even cooking. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Sauté the veggies: Once the beef is cooked, add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they’re softened and aromatic—let those flavors mingle.
  3. Season to perfection: Sprinkle the mixture with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well and simmer for an additional 2 minutes to allow the spices to meld beautifully with the beef and vegetables.
  4. Warm the tortillas: In a separate pan or the microwave, gently warm the tortillas until they’re pliable.
  5. Assemble the tortillas: Spoon the flavorful beef mixture onto each tortilla, sprinkle generously with shredded cheese, then fold over, creating a delicious pocket.
  6. Garnish and serve: Arrange your assembled tortillas on a serving platter and lavish them with guacamole and a dollop of sour cream.

Notes

Make-ahead tips: Prep the beef mixture in advance and store in the refrigerator. Just warm it up when you’re ready for meal time. Experiment with toppings for customization.
