Ingredients

  • 1 pound of ground sirloin
  • 1 medium onion chopped, divided - see instructions
  • 2 tablespoons of Taco seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon of sugar
  • 2 cups of salsa
  • 1 15-ounce can of Ranch-style beans drained
  • 1 cup of shredded Colby Jack cheese
  • 1 carton of cherry tomatoes diced
  • 2 limes sliced
  • 1 bunch of green onions washed and chopped
  • 1 package of soft flour Tortillas

Instructions

  • Place the ground sirloin in a heavy bottom skillet, and cook meat to a golden brown, with no pink left. Remove cooked sirloin to a paper towel lined plate, and drain fat.
  • Place the chopped onion in the skillet, and saute for 2 minutes. Return the meat to the skillet, and stir well with onion.
  • Add the taco seasoning, garlic salt, sugar, salsa, ranch beans, and cheese, stir, and let simmer all together for about 20 minutes.
  • While the taco meat is simmering, cut out the Tortillas; using a large biscuit cutter, or round cookie cutter (about a 4 inch cutter - see link) cut out the rounds, and place them on the back of a muffin tin, between the muffin cups.
  • Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool slightly.
  • Fill with met filling, and place in oven and bake for 4 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, and top with chopped tomatoes, and green onions.
  • Serve with salsa, and sliced limes. Enjoy!
