GRANDS!® EASY TACO MELTS



GRANDS!® EASY TACO MELTS image

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 package (1 oz) Old El Paso taco seasoning mix 2/3 cup water
1 1/2 cups Old El Paso Thick 'n Chunky salsa
1 lb ground turkey, cooked, drained
1 can (16.3 oz) Pillsbury Grands biscuits
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese or Mexican cheese blend (4 oz)
1 cup sour cream, if desired

Steps:

  • In medium saucepan, cook taco seasoning mix, water, 1/2 cup of the salsa and cooked ground beef until thickened. Press each biscuit into 6-inch round. Spoon 1/3 cup meat mixture and 1 tablespoon cheese onto center of each round. Fold dough in half over filling; press to seal. Place on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375°F 9 to 14 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with remaining salsa, cheese and sour cream.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Tortillas: For the best taco melts, use large flour tortillas that are soft and pliable. You can also use corn tortillas, but they tend to be more brittle and may break when folded.
  • Use High-Quality Ground Beef: Opt for lean ground beef with at least 80% meat and 20% fat for a flavorful and juicy filling. Season the beef generously with taco seasoning for a classic Tex-Mex taste.
  • Don't Overcook the Beef: Cook the ground beef until it is just browned but still slightly pink in the middle. Overcooking will make the beef dry and tough.
  • Use a Variety of Toppings: In addition to cheese, you can add your favorite taco toppings to the melts, such as lettuce, tomatoes, onions, salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or pico de gallo.
  • Broil the Melts Until Golden Brown: Place the melts under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.
