Ingredients
- 1 lb Lean ground beef
- 2 tbsp Taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 10 small Flour tortillas
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions

Step 1
In a large skillet, heat one tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 2
Drain any excess fat from the skillet, return it to heat, and add taco seasoning and water. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 4
To assemble the crispitos, fill each tortilla with approximately 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 5
Roll each tortilla tightly and place seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 6
Brush the tops of the rolled tortillas with the remaining olive oil.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the tortillas are crispy and golden brown.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the crispitos with salt and pepper.
Step 9
Serve with sour cream and garnish with chopped green onions for added flavor and texture.
