Step 1: Brown the Beef

Tips

  • Add sliced avocado or guacamole for creaminess.
  • Replace ground beef with ground turkey for a lighter version.
  • Add sautéed onions or peppers to bulk up the filling.
  • Use low-sodium cheddar soup to reduce saltiness.
  • Spice it up with jalapeños, hot sauce, or chipotle powder.
  • Swap flour tortillas for corn tortillas to make it gluten-friendly (if using GF options).
  • Mix in a handful of shredded cheddar for extra cheesiness.
  • Top with tomatoes, sour cream, or cilantro for freshness.
  • Turn it into a taco bowl by serving over rice or lettuce instead of tortillas.
