My family is obsessed with Mexican food. If it were up to them, we’d have that and noodles every other night of the week. As much as I love tacos, I can only have them so often.
I try to make other “Mexican-themed” dishes so I can satisfy my family, but not totally bore my own tastebuds (I’m such a selfish mother, haha). Try out my Crispy Potato Soft Tacos or Mexican Pizza recipes. I’m sure you’ll love them!

Ingredients
- ground beef – for taco related dishes, I like to use 85% fat for the best flavor
- corn tortillas – if corn tortillas aren’t your jam, feel free to use flour tortillas
- taco seasoning – I like to use my homemade taco seasoning packet recipe
- refried beans – canned refried beans are fine, I like to use the canned beans that are fat free
- lettuce – when I make tacos, I always buy the packages of shredded iceberg lettuce, to cut down on my prep time!
- tomatoes – fresh Roma tomatoes diced
- cheese – use your favorite type of cheese. I like Monterey Jack cheese and the fiesta blend cheese
- extra virgin olive oil – used to cook the tortilla in the skillet
