Cheesy Ground Beef Tacos

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and onion and cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic, 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons taco seasoning, some salt and pepper and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, allowing the flavors to come together.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat a griddle over medium-high heat. Add the butter to a wide bowl and stir in the remaining teaspoon taco seasoning.

Step 3

Working in batches of 6, dip the tortillas into the butter mixture and place on the hot griddle. Top each with 2 tablespoons of the cheese and a good spoonful of the taco meat. Cook for 1 minute, then fold in half. Continue to cook until very crisp, an additional 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter and repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Step 4

Serve warm, garnished with the cilantro.
