Cheeseburger Taco
Have a craving for a burger outside of grilling season? Looking for something fun for kids or a party? The cheeseburger taco is even easier than a traditional burger, with fewer ingredients and more flavor!
Makes 6 tacos.
1 pound ground beef
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1½ cups torn lettuce (large pieces)
1 plum tomato, diced
¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
½ cup relish
Cheddar cheese, shredded, for topping
Tortillas
DIRECTIONS:
1. Brown ground beef in a large pan over medium-high heat, about 8-10 minutes. Add cheddar cheese and cook 1 more minute, mixing constantly, until fully melted.
2. Top a tortilla with lettuce, tomato, and red onion. Add cheesy ground beef and top with relish and a sprinkling of shredded cheddar cheese.
Cheesy Lettuce Wrap Taco
Traditional tacos are naturally gluten-free, but if you only have flour tortillas on hand and still need a gluten-free alternative, lettuce wraps are the perfect solution. They work particularly well with this recipe but can be applied to any taco that is not overly wet or crunchy.
Makes 4-6 tacos.
1 pound ground beef
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
4-6 large leaves iceberg lettuce, whole
1 plum tomato, diced
¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
Cheddar cheese, shredded, for topping
½ cup sour cream, for topping
DIRECTIONS:
1. Brown ground beef in a large pan over medium-high heat, about 8-10 minutes. Add cheddar cheese and cook 1 more minute, mixing constantly, until fully melted.
2. Top a lettuce leaf with cheesy beef, tomato, and red onion. Sprinkle cheddar cheese and top with sour cream. Serve open, and wrap/roll loosely to eat.
Classic American Taco
This is probably what you envision when you hear the word taco,
and it is the only taco in this book specifically recommended for the baked shell. Of course, you can use any shell you like, any time, but something about this taco begs for the crunch that only comes with a baked shell!
Makes 8-10 tacos.
½ pound ground beef
1½ Tablespoons Classic Taco Seasoning (page 170)
½ cup water
1 cup sour cream
2 cups iceberg lettuce, shredded
2 plum tomatoes, diced
Baked Tortillas (page 138)
Mild Salsa (page 194), to be served on the side
DIRECTIONS:
1. Brown ground beef in a large pan over medium-high heat, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess grease, add Classic Taco Seasoning and ½ cup water, and simmer until water is mostly evaporated, about 6-8 minutes.
2. Layer 1 teaspoon of sour cream on the bottom of a tortilla (sour cream on the bottom helps hold ingredients together when the shell begins to crack!). Top with lettuce, tomato, and beef.
3. Serve with Mild Salsa (or Hot Salsa, if preferred!) on the side.
Note: Many people enjoy taco sauce, especially if using soft tortillas. See Mild Taco Sauce (page 204) and Hot Taco Sauce (page 204) for options!
Greek Taco
For a more adult flavor profile in a beef taco, try this Greek-inspired recipe.
Makes 4-6 tacos.
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound ground beef
1 Tablespoon garlic powder
1 Tablespoon onion powder
½ teaspoon fine ground sea salt
½ cup water
1 cup frozen spinach, prepared according to package instructions
1-2 pieces lettuce per taco
½ cup Tzatziki (page 208)
Tortillas
DIRECTIONS:
1. Heat vegetable oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Cook garlic until just turning brown, about 2 minutes.
2. Add ground beef to garlic and brown, about 8-10 minutes. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and water, reduce heat to low, and simmer until water evaporates, about 8 more minutes.
3. Add cooked spinach, mix well, and cook 2 more minutes.
4. Cover a tortilla with lettuce, and top with beef and spinach mixture. Add at least a Tablespoon of Tzatziki.
Navajo Taco
The Navajo Taco is nothing more than a Classic American Taco on a fried, puffy tortilla, often called frybread, and is best served with a fork! To create one, simply follow the recipe for the Classic American Taco (page 6) and use a Navajo Taco Tortilla (page 148) instead of a standard tortilla. Navajo Taco Tortillas are much heavier in your stomach than traditional tortillas, so you will probably only want to eat one or two of these at a meal, especially if there are side
