Cuisine Mexican
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil vegetable or olive
- 2/3 cup onion diced
- 1 pound ground beef chicken or ground pork also work
- 1/4 cup taco seasoning
- 2 cups salsa divided
- 8-10 flour tortillas taco sized
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Put 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the onion, and sauté for 3 minutes.
Crumble and add the ground beef, cooking it with the onion until it is cooked through and no longer pink.
Add 1/4 cup (one packet) of taco seasoning. Mix it well.
Add 1 cup of salsa. Mix it well, and let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove the meat mixture from the heat. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons to a flour tortilla.
Roll up the tortilla, and place it seam-side down in a 9x13-inch backing dish that's been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Repeat until all the meat is gone.
Pour 1 cup of salsa over the top of the rolled tortilla shells.
Sprinkle 1 cup of cheese over the top of the salsa.
Place the pan in the oven and broil on low for 3 to 4 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned. Serve with sour cream, if desired.
