Description

Delicious ground beef tortillas filled with sautéed vegetables and topped with cheese, guacamole, and sour cream, perfect for gatherings and family meals.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 8 small tortillas
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • 1 cup guacamole
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef: Begin by heating your cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook it until it turns a deep brown, releasing its rich aroma. Drain any excess fat to reduce grease.
  2. Sauté aromatics: Toss in the chopped onion and bell pepper, stirring occasionally. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes.
  3. Season to perfection: Sprinkle the mixture with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well, allowing the spices to envelop the beef and its accompaniments. Simmer for an additional 2 minutes for the flavors to meld.
  4. Warm the tortillas: In a separate pan or microwave, gently warm the tortillas until they’re pliable.
  5. Build your tortilla: Spoon the flavorful beef mixture onto each tortilla. Sprinkle a generous handful of shredded cheese on top, allowing the heat to begin melting it. Fold the tortilla over, creating the perfect pocket of deliciousness.
  6. Serve and savor: Plate your Ground Beef Tortillas and serve with dollops of guacamole and sour cream on the side.

Notes

Make ahead by preparing the beef filling in advance. Feel free to customize with different meats or cheeses.
