Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean ground beef (95% lean)
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning (low-sodium)
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 12 pieces Small corn tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Chopped tomatoes
- 1 cup Shredded low-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Light sour cream
- 1 cup Salsa
- 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
- 0.25 cup Sliced jalapeños (optional)
- 1 piece Avocado, diced (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the lean ground beef and cook, stirring frequently, until fully browned, about 8 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet to maintain low-fat content.
Add the taco seasoning and water to the skillet, stir well, and bring to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the beef mixture simmer for 5 minutes until the liquid is reduced and the flavors are well blended.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the corn tortillas on a baking sheet.
Spray the tortillas lightly with a cooking spray and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown.
Remove the tortillas from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Assemble the tacos by placing a couple of tablespoons of the seasoned beef mixture into each crispy corn tortilla.
Top the beef with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, a sprinkle of low-fat cheddar cheese, and a spoonful of light sour cream.
Garnish with salsa, chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeños, and diced avocado as desired.
Serve immediately while the tacos are still crunchy and enjoy this delicious, low-fat meal.
