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.

SHEET PAN TACO BAKE

Move over tortillas. Shredded potatoes are the crispy, crunchy base you've been craving for all your favorite taco fixings -- melty cheese, spiced ground beef and piles of cool lettuce, avocado and sour cream.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3 teaspoons chili powder
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon tomato paste
Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the sheet pan
20 ounces refrigerated shredded hash browns
8 ounces Cheddar, grated (about 2 cups)
Assorted toppings, such as shredded iceberg lettuce, salsa, diced avocado, sour cream, sliced black olives, pickled jalapenos and hot sauce

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Add the cumin, 2 teaspoons of the chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir to combine. Push the beef aside to make a space in the middle of the skillet and add the tomato paste. Cook, stirring, until the tomato paste darkens a shade or two, about 1 minute, then stir it into the beef. Add 1/2 cup water, bring to a rapid simmer and cook, stirring, until the water has almost completely reduced, about 2 minutes. Keep hot.
  • Preheat the broiler. Spray an 18-by-13-inch sheet pan with cooking spray.
  • Spread the hash browns on the prepared sheet pan, toss with 1 teaspoon salt and the remaining 4 tablespoons vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon chili powder and pat into an even layer. Broil until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Toss well with a heatproof spatula, pat back into an even layer and return to the broiler until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes more. Top with the spiced ground beef and Cheddar and broil until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Add your favorite toppings, cut into pieces and serve.
