Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces potato lefse
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup water
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and diced onion to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and break it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked, approximately 7-8 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet. Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the seasoning is well blended and slightly thickened.
While the beef mixture is cooking, warm the lefse. Heat them in a dry skillet or in the microwave for 20-30 seconds each to make them pliable.
Lay each lefse flat on a plate. Spoon a portion of the seasoned beef mixture down the center of the lefse.
Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa, or your favorite taco toppings.
Fold the lefse around the fillings like a burrito or taco shell. Serve warm and enjoy your Uff Da Tacos!
