Crispy Beef Tacos with Cilantro Lime Sauce

• 454 g ground beef
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 160 ml water
• 8 small flour tortillas
• 480 ml shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• For the sauce:
• 120 ml sour cream
• 60 ml mayonnaise
• 60 ml fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 tsp salt

Steps

1. 1

   First, make the cilantro lime sauce. Combine sour cream, mayonnaise, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, and salt in a blender. Blend until smooth and set aside.

2. 2

   In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain off any excess fat.

3. 3

   Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.

4. 4

   Heat the olive oil in another large skillet over medium heat.

5. 5

   Place a tortilla in the hot skillet. Sprinkle a layer of cheese on the entire tortilla, then add a layer of the seasoned beef on one half.

6. 6

   Fold the tortilla in half and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until crispy and the cheese is fully melted.

7. 7

   Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

8. 8

   Serve the tacos hot with the cilantro lime sauce for dipping or drizzling.
