Ingredients

  • 20 oz Prairie Legacy Grass-Fed Ground Beef
  • ½ cup sweet onion diced
  • ¼ cup green chiles diced
  • ½ cup salsa
  • cup enchilada sauce
  • 1 tablespoon adobo seasoning
  • ½ tablespoon ground cumin
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • 8-10 white or yellow corn tortillas
  • ½ cup jalapeño nacho cheese
  • Cooking oil spray

For Topping

  • Shredded lettuce
  • Avocado diced
  • Jalapeño diced
  • Tomato diced
  • Sour cream

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 2–3 minutes, breaking it apart as it browns.
  • Add the diced onion, green chiles, and salsa. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to soften.
  • Stir in the enchilada sauce, adobo seasoning, and cumin. Add the juice of ½ lime and mix well.
  • Continue cooking for 8–10 minutes, or until the ground beef is fully cooked and most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Turn a standard 12-cup muffin tin upside down. Press the corn tortillas into the spaces between the muffin cups to form bowl shapes. Lightly spray with cooking oil.
  • Bake for 3–4 minutes, or until the tortillas are lightly crisp and holding their shape.
  • Carefully remove the tortilla cups from the muffin tin. Fill each cup with the ground beef mixture and top with jalapeño nacho cheese.
  • Return the filled taco cups to the oven and bake for 3–4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the filling is heated through.
  • Top with shredded lettuce, diced avocado, diced jalapeño, diced tomato, and sour cream. Serve immediately.
