Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Lean ground beef
- 2 tbsp Taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 10 small Flour tortillas
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat one tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet, return it to heat, and add taco seasoning and water. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
To assemble the crispitos, fill each tortilla with approximately 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
Roll each tortilla tightly and place seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the tops of the rolled tortillas with the remaining olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the tortillas are crispy and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the crispitos with salt and pepper.
Serve with sour cream and garnish with chopped green onions for added flavor and texture.
