Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Low sodium taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 cup Low sodium cheddar cheese, shredded
- 8 small Whole wheat tortillas
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the lean ground beef and cook until completely browned, about 6-8 minutes. Break it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
Step 3
Drain any excess fat from the skillet. Add the low sodium taco seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to the beef. Stir well to coat the beef with the seasonings.
Step 4
Pour in the water, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the liquid has reduced and the flavors meld together. Remove from heat.
Step 5
Stir in the shredded low sodium cheddar cheese until melted and well combined with the beef mixture.
Step 6
Place the tortillas on a flat surface. Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the beef and cheese mixture onto each tortilla. Roll up each tortilla tightly.
Step 7
Brush each rolled tortilla lightly with olive oil and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the tortillas are crispy and golden brown.
Step 9
Allow the crispitos to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite low sodium salsa or guacamole.
