Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (97/3 lean ratio recommended)
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1 can (10 ounces) Ro*Tel® tomatoes, with juices
- 8 ounces Velveeta cheese (½ block)
- 10 nacho cheese taco shells
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 3 tablespoons sour cream
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions:
- Cook the Beef: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and taco seasoning, cooking until the beef is fully browned. Break the beef into small pieces as it cooks. If you’re using lean beef, draining the fat may not be necessary.
- Melt the Cheese: In a separate saucepan over medium heat, combine the Velveeta and Ro*Tel® tomatoes with their juices. Stir occasionally until the cheese is completely melted, which should take about 10 minutes.
- Assemble the Tacos: Begin by placing a layer of chopped romaine lettuce in each taco shell. Add a generous portion of the seasoned beef, then drizzle with the melted Velveeta and tomato mixture.
- Add Toppings: Finish each taco with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Feel free to personalize with additional toppings like diced onions, jalapeños, or a squeeze of lime.
Notes:
- If using beef with higher fat content, consider draining the excess fat after cooking to avoid greasy tacos.
- Customize your tacos to your taste with your favorite toppings.
Enjoy these Rotel Tacos as a vibrant and satisfying meal that’s sure to bring everyone to the table with big smiles!
