Ingredients:
- 6 oz cheese, shredded, divided
- 8 oz ground beef, divided
- Favorite taco seasonings (such as cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper)
- 4 tbsp sour cream, divided
Instructions:
- Cook the Ground Beef:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula.
- Season with your favorite taco seasonings and cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
- Prepare the Cheese Shells:
- While the beef is cooking, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Sprinkle 2 oz of shredded cheese into the pan, spreading it out to form a thin, even circle.
- Cook until the cheese is melted and starts to turn crispy around the edges, about 3-4 minutes. Watch carefully to ensure it does not burn.
- Assemble the Tacos:
- Once the cheese shell is crispy, sprinkle 1 oz of shredded cheese over half of the cheese circle.
- Add 4 oz of the cooked ground beef on top of the cheese.
- Dollop 2 tbsp of sour cream over the beef.
- Form the Taco:
- Carefully fold the cheese shell in half over the filling, pressing gently to form a taco shape.
- Allow the taco to cook for another minute to help the cheese shell hold its shape.
- Use a spatula to carefully remove the taco from the pan and place it on a plate to set.
- Repeat for Second Taco:
- Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make the second taco.
- Serve:
- Serve the cheesy shell tacos immediately while they are warm and the cheese is still crispy.
