Equipment

  • Large Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 soft flour tortillas

Instructions
 

  • Place the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Break it up with a spatula and cook until no pink remains.
  • Drain any excess fat from the skillet. Return the pan to the heat.
  • Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the beef and pour in the water. Stir well and let the mixture simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until the liquid thickens slightly.
  • Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the cheese melts completely.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the cheesy beef with the soft tortillas on the side so everyone can scoop and wrap their own portions.

Notes

Warm the tortillas briefly in the microwave between damp paper towels so they stay soft and easy to fold. If the cheese starts to firm up after sitting, a quick 30-second reheat in the skillet brings back the gooey texture. Leftovers keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days and reheat best in a covered skillet over low heat.
