Salsa Taco



A new twist on tacos.
Not too bad, if I say so myself.  :-)
(click on image to see it bigger)
Indredients:
Flour Tortillas, Real Butter, 1lb Hamburger, Salsa (you pick how mild), Shredded Cheddar, Lettuce,  Onion, Tomatoes (I'm using cherry tomatoes, but you can use whatever you want.  Or even drain a can of diced tomatoes)
Turn your oven on to 350.  Put your hamburger in your skillet and brown.

While your hamburger is browning, scrape some butter on a tortilla and place in the oven, directly on the racks.

Leave it in the oven for a few minutes, until the edges are starting to curl up.  This will leave it soft enough to fold into a taco.  If you're like me and would rather have a taco salad or a tostada, leave it in till it's golden brown.

Here's what it looks like when it's starting to curl up.

Add some salsa (about half a jar) into the hamburger and stir in.

Stir it in.  ...don't forget your tortillas!  :-)


Cook it on med heat till the juice is boiled down.

Cut up your vegetables.  I had left over lettuce and onion mix from a salad that I made, so all I needed was to cut up the tomatoes.

Fold your shell.

Put your toppings on it as to your liking.  I like to put the lettuce on first, then the meat, then the cheese - so it can melt, then the tomatoes.  Then maybe some salsa and a little sour cream.



Recipe:
  • Flour Tortillas
  • Real Butter
  • 1lb Hamburger
  • Salsa (you pick how mild)
  • Shredded Cheddar
  • Lettuce
  • Onion
  • Tomatoes
  1. Heat Oven to 350.
  2. Brown the hamburger.
  3. Add 1/2 jar of salsa into the hamburger and stir.
  4. Allow it to cook over med heat till the juice is boiled down.
  5. While the meat is cooking:
  6. Scrape some butter onto a flour tortilla.
  7. Heat in oven till the sides just start to curl up or till it's golden brown for a crunchier shell.
  8. Cut up the lettuce, onion, and tomatoes.
  9. Fold your shell in half.
  10. Then put your toppings on your shell.

Voila!

Hope you enjoy this as much as we did.  We had these with some Cinnamon Treats.

Let me know how you liked this.  Thank you.
