About the Recipe

Rebecca Roper shares her favorite easy Taco Tuesday dinner.

Ingredients

Ingredients for meat mixture:

1 lb ground beef

1 packet of Taco seasoning or use homemade seasoning (see additional recipe)

¼ cup red enchilada sauce (can use more or less depending on your taste)

2 spoonfuls of canned refried beans (can use more or less depending on your taste)


Slider ingredients:

1 -2 spoonfuls of meat mixture (per slider)

1 spoonful of cheese sauce or rotel cheese dip (per slider)

1 round tortilla chip (per slider)

Shredded cheese (Mexican or taco blend)


Rotel Cheese dip:

Melt one medium size bar of Velveeta Cheese and mix in 1 can of Rotel tomatoes. Tastes best

when cheese is melted slowly in a double boiler over low to medium heat.


Taco Seasoning:

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 tablespoon cumin

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1/2/ teaspoon dried oregano

Preparation

Step 1:

Brown 1 lb. of ground beef in skillet. As you brown the meat add in the taco seasoning and pour in the enchilada sauce. Once the meat is brown, drain and return to the pan. Add in about 2 spoonfuls of the refried beans and mix together.


Step 2:

Assemble the tortillas. Lay your tortilla flat, smear a spoonful of cheese sauce (dip) in

the middle. I prefer to use my rotel cheese dip in lieu of cheese sauce. Then add a spoonful of the meat mixture on top, layer a round tortilla chip on top of the meat mixture, then sprinkle some shredded cheese. You can choose to add sour cream on top of the chip before the shredded cheese if you prefer.


Step 3:

Fold the tortilla. First fold up from the bottom, then fold in from left and right sides, lastly,

fold down from the top. It should resemble a star shape. Once folded, place the folded side down in the skillet, brown on both sides.


Step 4:

Serve sliders. You can serve these with a side of rice and beans if you are eating at

home. You can also dip them in guacamole or salsa. If you are on the go, wrap them individually in aluminum foil and place in a plastic container or lunch box.
