This is a fast and fun take on a couple of Mexican classics. I enjoyed experimenting until I got it the way my husband and I like it. I hope you enjoy it, too. If you do, or if you have any cool twists on it, leave me a comment! Enjoy! p.s. I say it serves 2 to 8 because, technically you can get 8 servings, my husband and I loaded ours up and ... well... it only served two! lol

Ingredients For tortilla wrapped taco

  • 1 lb
    lean hamburger
  • 1 can
    cheese soup
  • 8 oz
    salsa
  • 1/4 tsp
    red pepper flakes
  • 1 pinch
    pepper
  • 4
    tortillas
  • 4
    taco shells
  • some
    shredded cheese
  • optional
    sour cream, olives, etc.

How To Make tortilla wrapped taco

  • 1
    In a medium skillet, brown the meat as you usually would. Drain.
  • 2
    Add one can of cheese soup. Stir until well mixed. (For a bit of snap, add one can of nacho cheese soup instead.)
  • 3
    Add salsa. Stir until well mixed. (I used Pace, of course) (choose your heat level)
  • 4
    Add the chili flakes and pepper. (i added a tad of corn starch to thicken it faster because we were hungry.) Simmer until thickened, stirring so that it will not burn.
  • 5
    Lay a tortilla flat and sprinkle shredded cheese, not to the edge, but cover the center as thickly as you wish.
  • 6
    Spoon a layer of the meat mixture down the center in a thin strip.
  • 7
    Place your taco shell on the stip of meat mixture. Spoon some of the mixture into the taco shell.
  • 8
    Sprinkle shredded cheese into the taco shell. Add your optional items here.
  • 9
    Fold the tortilla up around your taco shell. (If your tortilla is large enough, you can make a burrito fold and wrap the entire taco, which is a nice surprise if you are serving guests.)
