1package of LOW SODIUM taco seasoning (See Note 1)about 3 tablespoons
114.5 oz.can diced tomatoes with green chilis, drained of juices
4oz.Velveeta cheese, cut into cubesor store brand
8flour tortillassoft taco size or smaller
garnishes: lettuce, tomato, red onion, sour cream, green onions and your other favorite toppings!optional
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Then add ground beef and cook, breaking up the meat as it cooks (about 2-3 minutes). Pro Tip: Using a potato masher when the meat is about halfway cooked works great at getting the meat broken up nice and fine 🙂
When meat is cooked through, add taco seasoning and stir to combine. Note: If you aren't using lean ground beef, drain grease.
Then, add diced tomatoes (juices drained) and Velveeta. Cook 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cheese is completely melted and mixture has thickened a bit.
Spoon meat mixture onto flour tortillas, top with desired toppings and serve immediately!
Notes
Note 1: Make sure you buy LOW SODIUM taco seasoning (or make your own). This is very important because the Velveeta cheese has a decent amount of salt in it, and "regular" taco seasoning makes the dish too salty.Nutrition information is only an estimate.
