Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef

- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream

Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil.
Step 2
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 3
Once the beef is browned, drain any excess grease from the skillet.
Step 4
Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef. Remove from heat.

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the cream cheese and sour cream. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the cream mixture and stir until melted and fully incorporated. Remove from heat.
Step 7
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
Step 8
Assemble the tacos by adding a scoop of the seasoned beef to each tortilla. Drizzle with the creamy cheese sauce.
Step 9
Top the tacos with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and freshly chopped cilantro.
Step 10
Add hot sauce to taste, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
