Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large flour tortillas
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup water
- 1.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded
- 1 cup tomatoes, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 6-7 minutes.
Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until well combined and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove the skillet from heat.
Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Using a knife, make a single cut from the edge to the center of the tortilla to create a folding point.
Visualize the tortilla as divided into four quadrants. In the first quadrant, spread a tablespoon of sour cream. In the second quadrant, add about 3 tablespoons of the cooked taco meat. In the third quadrant, sprinkle shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes. In the last quadrant, add a generous handful of shredded cheese.
Starting from the cut edge, fold one quadrant over the next in a clockwise direction, pressing gently to seal each fold until a compact triangle is formed.
Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly oil the pan if needed. Cook each foldover for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
Repeat the folding and cooking process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
Serve the taco foldovers warm, paired with extra sour cream or salsa for dipping if desired.
