Crispy Rolled Chipotle Beef Tacos.

Crispy Rolled Chipotle Beef Tacos. Quick cooking ground beef (or use chicken) cooked with a homemade mix of spices, all tucked into soft tortillas and baked until crispy. Then, top these sheet-pan tacos with cheese and bake once until melty. Serve with plenty of avocado (of course) and my homemade cilantro ranch. These are so delicious!

We all know about my dad’s crispy tacos. I make them probably twice a week and talk about them all the time. They might be my favorite dinner!

As a kid, I’d always pick hard-shell tacos over flour tortillas. I just preferred the CRUNCH of those yummy hard shells.

My brothers, however, enjoy soft tortillas, so my dad would roll the taco meat up with cheese and serve those to the boys. They still request the soft flour tortillas from time to time, but most of us prefer crispy shells!

On occasion, Dad would run out of hard shells. When that happened, he’d bake the flour tortillas with cheese!

It was always such a treat when he did this!

I’d forgotten about those tacos and mostly stuck with hard shells. But recently, when I was thinking of new recipes to share, these suddenly came to mind! I can’t say they’re identical to the rolled tacos my dad would make, but they’re so yummy!!

Just a skillet and sheet pan for this recipe!

Steps

Step 1: cook the meat

I love to use ground beef for these tacos, just like my dad did! I cook the beef along with a yellow onion, chili powder, chipotle, garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, and oregano.

Once the meat has browned add water to allow time for the seasonings to really flavor the meat.

When the meat is cooked and smells yummy, add some enchilada sauce, then pull the skillet off the heat.

Step 2: roll the tacos

Now roll the meat up with flour tortillas and place them seam-side down on a baking sheet.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes – time for the tacos to get crispy!

Step 3: add the sauce and cheese

When the tacos are crispy, pour over the remaining enchilada sauce and top with cheese.

Bake to get the cheese melted!!

Step 4: the ranch

For the ranch, you can use Greek yogurt or sour cream. Add everything to a blender and blend until creamy.

Step 5: serve

Serve the tacos right from the sheet pan. Add avocado and spoon over the ranch!

Delicious!
