Calories 775kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef browned and drained
- 1 packet taco seasoning (1 ounce)
- ¼ cup water
- spicy ranch salad dressing
- 8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese divided 1:1
- 6 hard taco shells (corn)
- 6 pita bread (Greek pita, with no pocket)
- toppings: lettuce and tomato
Instructions
- Add browned ground beef, water, and taco seasoning to a skillet and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.
- While the taco meat is cooking, warm your crunchy taco shells on a sheet pan in the oven at 350℉ for about 7 minutes.
- Place pitas on a second baking sheet and top with half the shredded cheese. Place in the warm oven just until the cheese is melty (2 - 3 minutes). Watch carefully, as you don't want to toast them. Alternatively, you can do this in the microwave.
- Remove the warmed pitas from the oven and place a hard shell taco on each pita, carefully folding it over to allow the melted cheese to stick to both side and "glue" them together.
- Fill each shell with your seasoned beef, dressing, the remaining cheese, lettuce, and tomato. Serve immediately.
