Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free tortilla chips
- 8 small Corn tortillas (gluten-free)
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning (gluten-free)
- 0.25 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce
- 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the gluten-free tortilla chips in a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a shallow plate.
In a small bowl, combine cheddar cheese powder, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well and add to the tortilla chip crumbs, stirring to combine.
Lightly spray each corn tortilla with a bit of cooking spray and press both sides into the Doritos-seasoned crumbs, ensuring an even coating. Place coated tortillas on a baking sheet.
Bake the coated tortillas in the oven for 5-7 minutes until crispy and set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Add the gluten-free taco seasoning and water to the beef. Stir well to combine and simmer for about 5 minutes, until the mixture is thickened.
To assemble the tacos, take each Doritos-style taco shell and fill it with the seasoned beef mixture.
Top each taco with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Gluten-Free Doritos Locos Tacos.
