Directions

  • Step one

    Cook beef in large skillet over medium-high heat about 7 minutes or until crumbled and no longer pink, stirring occasionally; drain. Stir in 1 can undrained tomatoes and seasoning mix; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  • Step two

    Meanwhile, drain remaining can of tomatoes; set aside.

  • Step three

    Spoon meat mixture evenly onto tortillas; top with lettuce, drained tomatoes and cheese.

Tips

For a milder flavor, use Ro*TelĀ® Mild Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies. OR, drain the liquid off the second can of tomatoes to reduce the spiciness of the tomatoes used on top of the tacos.

Crisp taco shells may be used in place of flour tortillas, if desired.
