Ingredients
- 4 pieces gluten-free soft corn tortillas

- 1 pound ground beef or chicken
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free taco seasoning
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup creamy jalapeno sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef or chicken, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Step 2
Cook until the meat is fully browned, about 6-8 minutes.
Step 3
Add the gluten-free taco seasoning and 0.5 cup of water to the meat. Stir to combine and let it simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 5
Place the gluten-free soft corn tortillas on a baking sheet. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese on each tortilla.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
Step 7
Carefully press a gluten-free hard taco shell onto the center of each soft tortilla, gently pressing to adhere the melted cheese.
Step 8
Fill each hard shell with a portion of the cooked meat.
Step 9
Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, a dollop of sour cream, and drizzle with creamy jalapeno sauce.
Step 10
Fold the soft tortilla gently around the hard shell and fillings.
Step 11
Serve immediately, enjoying the delicious crunch and cheesy goodness!
