Tacos:
1pound of ground turkey/beef
1 medium onion (diced)
garlic salt, pepper (to taste)
1 package taco seasoning (see below for the homemade kind)
1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of water
So I cook up the meat and the onions at the same time, season to taste. Then I put the taco seasoning and the water into a pan( I use ground turkey so I use water to keep the meat moist and the taco seasoning mixes better that way too.) Then I cool and refrigerate for use.
Now I next night I took out:
10 Small flour tortillas
shredded cheese
salsa(homemade is the best) But you can always use your favorite
shredded lettuce
diced onions
Then I take a deep glass pan I take my tortillas and fold them like I taco and stack the pan till there all that way. Then I take the meat mixture from the night before (I do not heat it that's not needed) and I place meat and cheese into each of the taco shells then I place in the oven at 350 for 10 minutes just till the cheese is melted and the tortillas are going to be a little brown around the edges. Then take them and allow everyone to put what they want in them. I like this because one you are still getting the soft taco but you will get a little bit of a crunch to with out having to fry them also you are using one pan and you can make all ten at once time is a big deal when you don't have much to spear.
Well enjoy my version of quick and easy tacos!!!
Also you can use left over meat from dinner past I have used fried chicken, bbq chicken, it just gives it a different taste but you are not throwing meat out and you once again are saving time!!!
