Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground beef (lean)
- 2 tablespoons Salt-free taco seasoning
- 4 small Corn tortillas
- 4 Whole wheat flatbreads
- 1 cup Low sodium shredded cheese
- 1 cup Low sodium sour cream
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until fully browned, about 7-10 minutes.
Stir in the salt-free taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water to the beef. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Wrap the corn tortillas in aluminum foil and place them in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes or until they are warm.
Place the whole wheat flatbreads on a baking sheet. Sprinkle half of the low sodium cheese evenly over each flatbread.
Set the oven to broil setting. Broil the flatbreads for 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Remove the flatbreads from the oven and place each corn tortilla on top of the melted cheese on the flatbread.
Spread a spoonful of low sodium sour cream on each corn tortilla.
Divide the seasoned beef evenly among the tortillas.
Top with remaining low sodium cheese, shredded lettuce, and diced tomatoes.
Fold the flatbreads in half to encase the filling and serve immediately, enjoying the crunch from the tortilla and the cheesy goodness.
