EL PASO TACO SEASONING INSTRUCTIONS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C for fan assisted ovens), gas mark 6. Line a large baking sheet with foil and lightly grease the foil.
• Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add the beef mince. Fry for 7-8 minutes, stirring frequently until browned. Stir in the jalapeños and taco seasoning mix and fry for 10 minutes or until the mince is cooked through.
• Spread half the tortilla chips in a large circle on the baking sheet. Spoon over half the beef mixture, tomatoes and spring onions. Top with the rest of the tortillas, beef mixture, tomatoes and spring onions. Scatter over the cheese.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese has melted. Top with the avocado and serve with soured cream, if liked.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°F. Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add ground chuck, onion, garlic, and salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until beef is browned and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Add taco seasoning mix and tomato paste; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and toasted, about 1 minute. Remove beef mixture, and drain. Do not wipe skillet clean.
• Sprinkle each tortilla evenly with 1/2 cup cheese, and top each with 3/4 cup meat mixture; fold tortillas in half.  Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium; add 2 quesadillas, and cook until golden brown and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Using a spatula, turn quesadillas over, and cook 1 more minute. Transfer hot quesadillas to a baking sheet, and keep warm in preheated oven. Repeat with remaining 1 teaspoon oil and 2 quesadillas. Serve with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
