Bold, messy, and packed with street-food energy. These tacos feature seasoned ground beef loaded into crispy, lacy cheddar cheese shells and finished with a rich avocado-lime cream.
Ingredients
2 servings
Beef Filling
Ground beef (80/20)300 g
Taco seasoning mix (zero sugar)1 tbsp
Cheese Shells
Cheddar cheese (shredded)150 g
Avocado Crema
Avocado1 medium
Sour cream60 g
Lime juice1 tbsp

Method
Beef Filling
1
Brown the ground beef in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the taco seasoning and 2 tablespoons of water, simmering until the liquid evaporates and the beef edges get slightly crispy. Set aside in a warm bowl.
Cheese Shells
2
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place two 75g mounds of shredded cheddar cheese in the pan, spreading them into 6-inch circles. Cook until melted, bubbling, and the edges turn a deep golden brown, about 3 minutes. Carefully lift the warm cheese discs and drape them over a thick rolling pin or handle to cool and harden into taco shapes.
Avocado Crema
3
Mash the avocado, sour cream, lime juice, and chopped cilantro together in a small bowl until completely smooth, then season with a pinch of sea salt.
Plate
4
Stuff each crispy cheese taco shell generously with the hot seasoned beef filling, then drizzle the rich avocado crema over the top.
