Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Tacos:

  • 1 1/2 lbs ground beef or chicken
  • 1 yellow onion, sliced
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp chipotle chile powder (or 2 canned chipotle chiles, chopped)
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 can (10 oz) red enchilada sauce
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese
  • 16-20 small flour tortillas
  • Olive oil, for rubbing

For the Cilantro Ranch:

 
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried dill
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground meat and onion, breaking up the meat as it browns (about 5 minutes).

  • Stir in chili powder, garlic powder, chipotle powder or chiles, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, and salt. Pour in ½ cup water and cook until absorbed, 2-5 minutes. Mix in ½ cup enchilada sauce and remove from heat.

  • Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture onto each tortilla. Roll tightly and place seam-side down on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with olive oil.

  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until crispy.

  • Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the tacos and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Bake for another 10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.

  • While tacos bake, blend all cilantro ranch ingredients until smooth.

 

  • Serve warm tacos with cilantro ranch and avocado slices. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Substitute ground turkey for a leaner option.
  • Corn tortillas can be used for a gluten-free version, but warm them before rolling to prevent cracking.

 

  • Add a squeeze of lime or fresh avocado for extra flavor.
