Categories     Mains

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons olive oil
3 medium (about 1 1/2 lbs) white onions (finely chopped)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 pounds 90% lean ground beef
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
3 medium tomatoes (finely chopped)
Three (1-ounce) packets taco seasoning or your fave homemade taco seasoning
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
Nonstick cooking spray
8 burrito-size flour tortillas (warmed)
3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
3 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Five (5-inch) tostadas or corn tortillas*
Sour cream and salsa (for serving)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (191°C). Generously spray a large (13 by 18-inch | 33-by 46-cm) rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Have a second baking sheet at the ready.
  • In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Add the onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and browned, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Add the ground beef and cook, stirring to break it up as it cooks, until no longer pink, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the cilantro, tomatoes, taco seasoning, and lime juice. Remove the skillet from the heat and let cool.
  • Turn the baking sheet so its long sides run horizontal to the edge of your counter. Place 1 flour tortilla in the center on the left-hand side of the baking sheet so it's half on the sheet and half on the counter. Working clockwise, place 2 more tortillas along the top side of the baking sheet so they overlap evenly to cover the whole top edge. Place 1 tortilla in the center of the right-hand side of the baking sheet, then place 2 more tortillas along the bottom edge of the baking sheet so they meet with the first tortilla. Place 1 tortilla in the center of the baking sheet to cover the gap. The baking sheet should be entirely covered at this point.
  • Sprinkle half of each cheese evenly over the portions of the tortillas that are covering just the bottom of the baking sheet.
  • Using a slotted spoon, scoop the beef mixture onto the cheese and spread it into an even layer. Arrange the tostadas evenly over the beef, with one in each of the four corners and one placed in the center. Sprinkle the remaining cheeses evenly over the tostadas.
  • Starting with the first flour tortilla on your left-hand side, fold the overhanging tortilla edges back over the filling so they cover the filling. Place the remaining tortilla over the cheese in the center of the baking sheet. Spray the tortillas with cooking spray.
  • Place another baking sheet on top of the taco bake, then place an ovenproof weight, like a large cast-iron skillet, on top of the baking sheet.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the weight and top baking sheet and bake until the tortillas are golden and crisp on top, 10 to 15 minutes more. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and set it on a wire rack. Let rest for 5 minutes.
  • Using oven mitts or kitchen towels to protect your hands, place a cutting board upside down over the taco bake, then, holding the cutting board and baking sheet together, flip them so the taco bake falls out of the baking sheet onto the cutting board.
  • Remove the baking sheet and cut the crunch wrap into squares. Serve with sour cream and salsa on the side.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 lb ground beef
1 large chopped onion
1/2 cup minced onion (reserved)
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 jalapeno peppers (optional) or 2 hot chili peppers, of your choice (optional)
1 (10 ounce) can Ro-Tel tomatoes
1 (14 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce
2 tablespoons of mccormick taco seasoning
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt or 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
8 (6 inch) flour tortillas or 8 (6 inch) corn tortillas
2 (3 ounce) packages cream cheese
2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chilies, drained
1 (4 ounce) can sliced black olives
8 ounces shredded monterey jack cheese or 8 ounces jalapeno jack cheese
2 green onions, sliced
sour cream (to garnish)

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, cook beef, onion, garlic, and hot peppers over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink; drain well. Stir in tomatoes, enchilada sauce, taco seasoning, cumin salt and pepper. Salt and pepper can be adjusted to your taste. Bring to a boil, reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes. The longer you simmer, the better the sauce gets, water can be added if gets too thick. Pour half of the sauce into a greased 13-in. X 9-in. X 2 inches baking dish; set aside.
  • Stack totillas and wrap in foil: warm at 350 oven for 15 minutes. I put my tortillas in wax paper and heat in the microwave for 1 minute to save time. Spread tortillas with cream cheese, chopped green chilies and minced onion, top it with a light layer of grated cheese, fold in half.
  • Arrange folded tortillas over the meat sauce; pour remaining sauce on top. Cover and bake at 350 oven for 25 minutes or until hot. Uncover and sprinkle with grated cheese and sliced olives. Bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Take out and add sliced green onions.
  • Let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Serve with sour cream and chopped cilantro.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas: For the best results, use large burrito-sized tortillas. They are more likely to hold up to all of the ingredients and prevent the tortilla from tearing apart.
  • Don't overfill the tortilla: Be careful not to overfill the tortilla, as this can make it difficult to fold and may cause it to break apart.
  • Use a variety of fillings: Get creative with your fillings! You can use a variety of ingredients, such as scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, cheese, vegetables, salsa, and more. The possibilities are endless!
  • Cook the tortilla: Cook the tortilla over medium heat until it is golden brown and crispy. This will help to hold all of the fillings in place and give the tortilla a delicious flavor.
  • Serve immediately: Serve the tortilla immediately while it is still warm and crispy. You can top it with additional salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or any other desired toppings.

Conclusion:
