Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork is often less expensive.

Start by cooking 2 pounds of ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Add chopped onion to the beef.

Add 1 envelope of color or 1 tablespoon of paprika, 1 tablespoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

Add 1 teaspoon of garlic paste (or garlic powder) and 1/3 cup of tomato sauce.

Cover the skillet and cook until the meat is done, approximately 12 minutes.

Heat a flat griddle or skillet over medium-high heat and add butter (or cooking spray).

Place 1 flour tortilla on the griddle.

Sprinkle taco blend cheese (or any cheese of your choice) on half of the tortilla.

Add a portion of the cooked meat mixture on top of the cheese.

Fold the tortilla in half and press down gently with a spatula.

Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is brown, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.

Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly before serving.

Add toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, and onion as desired.

Serve with mayonnaise, ketchup, ranch dressing, or any sauce of your choice.
