Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 8 pieces Flour tortillas (medium size)
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Iceberg lettuce, shredded
- 1 medium Roma tomato, diced
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Hot sauce (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook for 2-3 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.
Step 2
Add the diced onion and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the onion softens and the beef is browned.
Step 3
Stir in the minced garlic and taco seasoning, coating the beef. Add water, reduce heat to low, and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
Step 4
Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Allow the oil to heat for about 1 minute.
Step 5
Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle a small handful of shredded cheese over half of it. Add a generous spoonful of the cooked beef mixture on top of the cheese.
Step 6
Fold the tortilla in half to form a taco shape and press down gently with a spatula. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
Step 7
Once all tacos are cooked, fill each one with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, a dollop of sour cream, and a drizzle of hot sauce, if desired.
Step 8
Serve the tacos immediately while they’re hot and enjoy Chacha’s Greasy Tacos!
