Sheet Pan Beef Tacos with Avocado Lime Crema
These tacos prove that ground beef is anything but boring.
Ingredients
Taco Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- ½ onion
- 1 tsp cilantro stems chopped
- ¼ cup tomato paste
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp celery salt
- ¼- ½ tsp cayenne depending on how spicy you’d like it
- 6-8 tortillas
- Olive oil for brushing
- Cheese grated (I used colby jack but feel free to use whatever you like)
Avocado Lime Crema:
- 1 avocado
- 1 lime
- ¼ cup sour cream or greek yogurt
- Pinch of salt
- ¼ cup torn cilantro
- Optional: jalapeno for a kick
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Brown the ground beef with all the seasonings, cilantro stems, onion and tomato paste. Set to the side.
- On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, place the tortillas and brush on each side with olive oil. Add seasoned ground beef (with a slotted spoon so you don’t transfer over any of the excess oil) to half of the tortilla.
- Cover with some of the grated cheese, fold the tortilla in half and finish with a bit more of the grated cheese on top of the closed tortilla.
- Place into the oven for about 15 minutes or until golden and the cheese is bubbly!
- Meanwhile assemble the avocado lime crema: in a blender or food processor mix avocado, sour cream or greek yogurt, juice of 1 lime, cilantro and a pinch of salt. Option to add some jalapeno for a bit of a kick!
- Dress the crispy sheet pan beef tacos with lime wedges, more cilantro, and the avocado lime crema on top!
