Description
A quick and flavorful taco filling made with seasoned ground beef, melty cheese, and zesty Rotel tomatoes for a crowd-pleasing weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 (10 oz) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 hard taco shells or soft tortillas
- Optional toppings: lettuce, diced tomato, sour cream, avocado
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess grease.
- Add the taco seasoning, water, and undrained Rotel tomatoes. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has absorbed.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and evenly distributed.
- Warm the taco shells according to package directions. Fill each shell with the cheesy beef mixture and add desired toppings.
Notes
You can customize the seasonings to taste. For extra spice, use hot Rotel variety. For a creamier filling, add a tablespoon of cream cheese along with the cheddar.
