Description

A delightful blend of flavors with crispy, cheesy goodness wrapped around savory taco fillings, perfect for game nights, parties, or family dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (about 1 oz or 28 g)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (about 200 g)
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
  • 1/2 cup black olives, sliced
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for brushing)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Season with salt and pepper and cook until browned.
  3. Stir in the taco seasoning with the cooked ground beef and let it simmer until thickened.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the seasoned ground beef, shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, black olives, and green onions.
  5. Take one flour tortilla and place a generous amount of the filling mixture along one edge. Roll tightly and repeat with remaining tortillas.
  6. Place the rolled taco sticks seam-side down on the baking sheet and brush the tops with olive oil.
  7. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and slice into bite-sized pieces. Serve warm with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
