ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is lower in fat, while ground pork is often less expensive.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and adds a cheesy flavor, while processed cheese is budget-friendly.

1

Start by browning the ground beef on medium to medium-high heat in a pan.

2

Add about 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder to the beef while it cooks.

3

Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder.

4

Add about 1/4 teaspoon of paprika or smoked paprika.

5

Mix in about 1/2 teaspoon of sugar to enhance the flavor.

6

Season with about 1/2 teaspoon of salt, adjusting to taste later.

7

Once the beef is browned, set it aside to cool slightly.

8

Prepare a bowl for the cheese and set up an assembly line for rolling the tacos with cheese, beef, and tortillas.

9

Heat light olive oil in a separate pan to medium heat for frying the tortillas.

10

Once the oil is hot enough (bubbling but not burning), slide in the tortillas one at a time, flipping them after a few seconds until they are lightly fried.

11

Remove the tortillas and place them on a paper towel-lined cutting board to drain excess oil.

12

Add a small amount of cheese to each tortilla, followed by some of the ground beef mixture.

13

Roll the tortillas tightly to form tacos and place them on a serving platter.

14

Serve immediately or make ahead and reheat later.
