Paul's Queso Tacos - Olive Branch Oil & Spice

These classic American tacos are jazzed up with some easy queso - because everything is better with queso - but you can certainly skip the queso and top with your favorite taco toppings.

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic Olive Oil
  • 3 tablespoons Taco Seasoning
  • 1 pound processed American cheese (Velveeta), cut into chunks
  • 3/4 cup cream
  • 1 can green chiles
  • Flour tortilla shells
  • 1 Jalapeno, sliced

     

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in skillet and add garlic. Cook for about 1 minute then add the ground beef.

  2. Once ground beef is browned, add seasoning mix and 1/4 cup water. Mix and simmer until sauce is thickened

  3. In the meantime make the queso by adding the cheese, cream and chiles into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 3 minutes, stir then microwave for another 3 minutes.
