Rotel Tacos

Instructions:

1. Cook the ground beef:
   • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef (or chicken) until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
2. Add the Rotel and seasoning:
   • Add the can of Rotel tomatoes (including the liquid) and the taco seasoning mix to the cooked meat. Stir to combine.
   • Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend and the mixture to thicken slightly.
3. Add the cheese:
   • Stir in the shredded cheese and let it melt into the meat mixture. This creates a cheesy, flavorful filling for your tacos.
4. Prepare the taco shells:
   • While the meat mixture is simmering, heat your taco shells or tortillas according to package instructions (you can warm them in the oven or on the stovetop).
5. Assemble the tacos:
   • Spoon the cheesy Rotel taco filling into each taco shell or tortilla.
   • Top with your favorite taco toppings like diced onions, sour cream, lettuce, salsa, or chopped cilantro.
6. Serve:
   • Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes like Mexican rice, refried beans, or chips and salsa.

Tips:

• You can use ground turkey or even plant-based meat substitutes for a healthier option.
• If you like extra spice, add chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the filling.
• For a creamier texture, mix in ¼ cup of cream cheese along with the shredded cheese.
