Enjoy the perfect combination of cheesy and beefy goodness with these unreal tacos. We promise you'll be so obsessed with this zesty, flavorful filling, you'll want to eat it with a spoon. When a taco craving strikes, nothing else will do!
What kind of beef should you use?
Use whatever ground beef you like best here. We usually go with 80% lean 20% fat.
Do I need to use taco seasoning?
Nope! If you don't have taco seasoning at home, you can turn to our trusty homemade taco seasoning recipe. Combine whatever spices you have from our recipe, then augment with whole ingredients. For example, sub in chopped garlic or onions for garlic and onion powder, or add a splash of hot sauce if you're short on chili powder.
What kind of cheese is best for tacos?
Depends on what you're looking for. For a melty cheese, cheddar or Monterey Jack are best. For a more authentic garnish, try crumbled cotija or queso blanco!
Can I make the beef ahead of time?
Yep! Leftovers heat up well in the microwave or in a skillet over low heat.
