Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 2 tbsp Taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 pieces Small flour or corn tortillas
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Chopped cilantro
- Hot sauce (optional)
- 1 tbsp Cooking oil
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Once the beef is browned, drain any excess grease from the skillet.
Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef. Remove from heat.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the cream cheese and sour cream. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the cream mixture and stir until melted and fully incorporated. Remove from heat.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
Assemble the tacos by adding a scoop of the seasoned beef to each tortilla. Drizzle with the creamy cheese sauce.
Top the tacos with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and freshly chopped cilantro.
Add hot sauce to taste, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
