Ingredients

  • 1 Pound Ground Beef
  • 1 Small Yellow Onion finely diced
  • 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
  • 2 Cans Chili I used Amy’s Medium Vegetarian chili
  • 1 ¼ Cups Cheddar Cheese finely grated
  • 8 Flour Tortillas taco or fajita size

Instructions

  • To make these tacos, start by preheating your oven to 400F. While the oven heats, place a large skillet on the stove over medium heat.
  • Once the pan is hot, add the ground beef and let it cook for 3-4 minutes, until it begins to brown.
  • Next, add the diced onion, garlic powder, and black pepper. Continue sautéing for another 3-4 minutes, until the onions soften and the beef is fully browned.
  • Once everything is cooked through, stir in the canned chili and ½ cup of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until the filling is well combined, then remove the skillet from the heat.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Fill each tortilla with a generous scoop of the chili-beef mixture and top with an additional 1-2 tablespoons of cheddar cheese.
  • Fold each tortilla closed and arrange them on the prepared sheet pan. Lightly spray the tops of the tortillas with cooking spray of choice.
  • Bake for 12 minutes, then switch the oven to broil and cook for another 2 minutes, just until the tops are golden and brown. Be careful that they don't burn!
  • Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped parsley, and enjoy!
