Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix
  • 2 cups frozen corn kernels
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 soft flour tortillas
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until it is fully browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
  • Stir in the taco seasoning mix and a pinch of salt. Add the frozen corn kernels and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes until the corn is heated through and the mixture is well combined.
  • Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef and corn mixture. Cover the skillet for 1 to 2 minutes so the cheese melts.
  • Warm the soft flour tortillas in a separate pan or in the microwave. Spoon the cheesy beef and corn filling into each tortilla and serve right away.

Notes

Frozen corn works straight from the bag and adds a slight sweetness that helps balance the seasoned beef. If the mixture seems a little dry after cooking, a splash of water while simmering keeps it moist for easier wrapping. Leftovers reheat well in a covered skillet over low heat so the cheese stays gooey.
