RECIPE:
For the Beef:▪️2 tsp Olive Oil▪️1/2 a Medium Yellow Onion, diced small▪️1 lb. Lean Ground Beef▪️2 tsp Chili Powder▪️1 tsp Cumin▪️1/2 tsp Garlic Powder▪️1 tsp Kosher Salt▪️1/2 Cup Mild Green Salsa▪️
For the Tacos:▪️2-3 Tbsp Avocado Oil▪️10-12 Corn Tortillas▪️1/2 Cup Shredded Mexican Blend Cheese▪️
For Topping:▪️Iceberg Lettuce, sliced in thin little strips▪️Shredded Mexican Blend Cheese▪️
🌱Vegan Modification: Sub in refried beans (or beans of choice) for beef; sub in plant based cheese for cheese
1️⃣ Preheat oven (or air fryer) to 425°F convection (if you have it)
2️⃣ In a large pan over medium heat, sauté the onions in olive oil until translucent (2-3 mins) then add the beef; break the beef into small pieces with your spatula and sauté until cooked through
3️⃣ Add the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt, and sauté 1 min, then add the green salsa and sauté 1 more min; turn off the heat
4️⃣ Add 2 Tbsp avocado oil to a large baking sheet, and microwave 6 tortillas at a time between two damp paper towels until pliable and warm (30 sec - 1 min)
5️⃣ Working one at a time, rub each tortilla in the oil on both sides (add more oil if needed as you near the end of the batch) and add 2 tsp cheese and 2 heaping Tbsp meat; spread the filling into a line across the middle of the tortilla and then fold it in half into a taco
6️⃣ Convection bake for 7-9 mins (until golden brown around the edges), flip tacos, and then convection bake for 7-9 more mins until deep golden brown and crispy (if you don’t have convection you may need to cook a few mins longer)
7️⃣ Pry open the tops of the tacos (wedging a knife in can help if they’re sticking shut) and stuff in some iceberg lettuce and shredded cheese - enjoy!

So last week, I chopped some lettuce just like you.... I made tacos. And guess what.... something green was moving.... it was a little worm. Same color as the lettuce!
hahaha omg good to know!!! better start washing the lettuce 😆
More protein 😊
Oops sorry for being late to the video (I literally cannot trust CZcams ever again to recommend me them) but I ADORE taste test challenges like this! These tacos look AMAZING! Have a great week!
This was great❤❤❤ i will make your healthy version yummm i love that you made them with corn tortillas since im gluten free
When I was in high school in Chicago there was a Jack down the street where we would have taco eating contests . They moved out of the Midwest awhile ago so the first time I saw one after moving to Oregon 40 years later I immediately stopped and had 6 tacos. They still taste the same! My Canadian sister always requests them when she comes to visit too.
haha I love that!! Thank you for sharing that story :) they are delish
Good job! It is hard to be beaten by fast food... but there is just something about the grease that is extra sinfully delicious some days 😂. Yours looked dynamite!!!
Aww thanks Lizzy you're the best!!
I still crave jack in the box's tacos... once in a while!
haha they are pretty delish!!!
I never wash ice berg! Just peel the outer layers off!
okay good me too hahaha
Jack n' Box never been my fave but home made is a million times better to eat. Iceberg has no nutritional value at all where as spinach or sorrel is what this cook uses
Thank you so much for watching the video :)! I appreciate the tips 😘
I don’t wash most fruits and veggies
