Description
A crispy taco fold packed with seasoned beef, melty cheese, and fresh toppings, all folded neatly and pan-crisped to perfection. It’s easy to make, easy to customize, and perfect for weeknights or party snacks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup diced tomatoes
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat and stir in taco seasoning. Cook 2 more minutes and set aside.
- Heat tortillas in a dry pan for 10 seconds per side to make them pliable.
- Lay a tortilla flat and mentally divide it into four quadrants. Add seasoned beef to bottom-left, cheddar cheese to top-left, sour cream and diced tomatoes to bottom-right, and cilantro with salt to top-right.
- Fold bottom-left over top-left, then over top-right, and finally fold down over bottom-right to form a triangle.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium. Place the fold seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
- Let rest for a minute or two, then garnish and serve.
Notes
- Don’t overfill the quadrants or folding becomes tricky.
- Place cheese between fillings to help seal the fold.
- Reheat leftovers in a skillet to maintain crispiness.
- Use freshly grated cheese for the best melt.
