Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bread slices (sourdough or your choice)
- 250 grams Ground beef or turkey
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 100 grams Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Lettuce (shredded)
- 1 large Tomato (diced)
- 4 tablespoons Sour cream
- 2 teaspoons Hot sauce (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (for toasting bread)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef or turkey and cook, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula, until fully browned (about 6-8 minutes).
Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the cooked meat and stir well to coat. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove the meat from heat and set aside.
While the meat cooks, spread butter evenly on one side of each bread slice. Heat another skillet or griddle over medium heat and toast the bread, butter-side down, until golden and crispy (about 2-3 minutes).
Place the toasted bread slices on a plate, toasted side up. Evenly distribute the cooked taco meat over the slices.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the taco meat. Optionally, you can place the toast under a broiler for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese, if desired.
Top each piece of toast with shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes for a fresh crunch.
Finish each taco toast with a dollop of sour cream and a drizzle of hot sauce, if you like some extra heat.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your delicious Taco Toast!
