Rotel Tacos
These Rotel tacos are salty, slightly spicy, creamy, and crunchy all at once. It’s like your favorite dip meets the perfect bite of a taco. I recommend extra lettuce for that perfect cold crunch against the rich filling.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 1 lb ground sirloin
- 2 tablespoons low sodium Taco seasoning
- 8 ounces processed American cheese such as Velveeta®, cut into large chunks
- 10- ounce can diced tomatoes with green chiles such as RO*TEL®
- 8 to 10 crunchy taco shells
- shredded iceberg lettuce
- toppings of choice such as diced tomato hot sauce and sour cream (optional)
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add ground beef and cook, crumbling with a wooden spoon until browned and cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes. Add in taco seasoning and cook for 1 minute. Mix in cheese and tomatoes and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook stirring constantly, until cheese is melted and mixture comes to a simmer. Cook for 3 minutes and remove from heat.
- Add filling to taco shells and top with shredded lettuce and other toppings, if desired.
