Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground lean beef
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 120 milliliters Water
- 100 grams Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 large Tomato, chopped
- 2 cups Lettuce, shredded
- 100 grams Reduced-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 large bag Doritos chips, crushed
- 8 pieces High-protein tortillas
- 1 jalapeño Jalapeños, sliced (optional)
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground lean beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté with the beef for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
While the beef mixture is simmering, prepare the taco toppings by chopping the tomato, shredding the lettuce, and grating the cheese if not pre-shredded.
Warm the high-protein tortillas according to the package instructions.
To assemble the tacos, place a heaping spoonful of the beef mixture onto each tortilla.
Top with a dollop of low-fat Greek yogurt, followed by the chopped tomato, shredded lettuce, and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
Finish each taco with a generous handful of crushed Doritos for that signature crunch. Add sliced jalapeños if desired for an extra kick.
Serve immediately and enjoy these flavorful, protein-rich tacos!
