Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef lean or extra lean, 450g
- 1/2 large onion diced, 100g
- 3 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese * See notes, 120g
- 10 small corn tortillas
- 1 cup tomatoes diced, 120g
- 1 large avocado mashed, 150g
- 1/2 cup sour cream 120g
Instructions
- Add beef and onion to a large skillet and place it over medium high heat. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until the meat is no longer pink and the onions have softened. Add the taco seasoning and mix until combined.
- Remove the meat mix off the heat. Place a heaping amount onto each taco. Add shredded cheese but do not close the tacos.
- Clean the pan, add oil, and place it over medium heat. Once hot, place the prepared tortilla flat into the pan. Cook for 20-30 seconds, or until the tortillas are pliable. Carefully fold them in half.
- Cook the tortillas for 1-2 minutes per side, until crispy and golden. Repeat the process until all the tacos are cooked.
- Carefully lift one side of the taco up and fill with tomatoes, avocado, and sour cream.

Notes
* I like using a Mexican cheese blend, but any cheese that melts well works.
