Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup Cooked ground beef
- 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Jalapeños (optional, sliced)
Instructions
In a skillet over medium heat, add the cooked ground beef and taco seasoning. Stir to coat the beef evenly and warm it up. Remove from heat and set aside.
Heat a separate skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly butter one side of each tortilla using the 2 tablespoons of butter.
Place one tortilla, buttered side down, onto the skillet. Evenly sprinkle a mix of shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese over half of the tortilla.
Add a layer of cooked ground beef, followed by a sprinkle of diced tomatoes and chopped green onions. Add sliced jalapeños if desired.
Fold the tortilla in half over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press gently with a spatula to help the cheese melt and adhere to the other ingredients.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortilla is golden-brown and crisp, and the cheese is fully melted.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
Cut each melted tortilla into 3-4 wedges and serve warm with a dollop of sour cream on the side.
