Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 small flour tortillas

• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 lime, cut into wedges
• Salt and pepper, to taste

How to Make Taco Bowls with Ground Beef

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin.
2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Stir in taco seasoning and a splash of water. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the beef is well-coated and heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. While the beef is cooking, mold the flour tortillas into the muffin tin to create bowls. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until crispy and golden.
5. Remove the tortilla bowls from the oven and let them cool slightly. Fill each bowl with the seasoned ground beef.
6. Top each taco bowl with diced avocado, shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
7. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the ground beef is cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for safe consumption.
• For a crispier tortilla bowl, brush the tortillas lightly with oil before baking.
• Customize your toppings! Try adding diced tomatoes, jalapeños, or black beans for extra flavor and nutrition.

Easy Variations

• Swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
• Use corn tortillas for a gluten-free option and bake them similarly.
• Add a layer of refried beans for added texture and flavor.
• Mix in some sautéed bell peppers or onions with the beef for extra crunch.

What to Serve With It

• Mexican street corn (elote) for a sweet and savory side.
• A fresh garden salad with lime vinaigrette.
• Spicy black bean soup for a warming accompaniment.
• Tortilla chips and salsa for extra crunch.
