Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef

  • 1/2 cup Pace® Picante Sauce
  • 8 flour tortilla, warmed
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce

Instructions

  • Tips

    • What can I use for toppings?  There is no wrong answer to this question!  Here are some ideas: Pace® Chunky Salsa, shredded or crumbled cheese (try a Mexican blend, Monterey Jack, or cotija), sour cream or plain Greek yogurt, guacamole, pickled jalapeños, diced tomatoes, thinly sliced red or white onion, avocado, lime wedges, and cilantro.
    • How do I adjust the heat level? Pace Picante® Sauce is available in Mild, Medium, or Hot. To really tailor the heat level to your exact taste, start by adding 1/4 cup, and then stir in a teaspoon at a time until you reach your desired level of spiciness.
    • What’s the best way to warm the tortillas? Stovetop: Place the tortillas in a dry stainless steel skillet, one at a time, and cook over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side. Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F., wrap tortillas in a packet of aluminum foil and place them in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until heated through. Microwave: Place 4 tortillas on a microwavable plate, cover them with a damp paper towel, and microwave in 30-second bursts until they’re warmed through. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
       

  • Step 1

    Season the beef with salt and pepper.  Cook the beef in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until well browned, stirring often to separate meat. Pour off any fat.

  • Step 2

    Stir in the soup and picante sauce and cook until hot, mixing to evenly incorporate with the beef.  Season to taste.

  • Step 3

    In a dry stainless steel skillet, heat 8-inch tortillas, one at a time, until lightly warmed.

  • Step 4

    Spoon about 1/3 cup beef mixture down the center of each tortilla, being careful not to overfill to prevent tacos from falling apart when folding. Top with the lettuce and other preferred toppings.  Fold the tortillas around the filling.
