    Ingredients

    1 pound 90/10 ground beef

    1/2 medium onion, finely chopped

    2 tablespoons taco seasoning

    2 tablespoons tomato paste

    1/4 cup water or beef broth, as needed

    salt to taste, as needed

    8 (6 inch) taco size flour tortillas

    2 to 3 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

    avocado or vegetable oil

    fresh cilantro, finely chopped, garnish

    Instructions

    1.Heat some oil (about 1 tablespoon) in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the onions and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

    2.Next, add in the beef. Use a large spoon to break up the beef and cook until most of the beef is browned, about 4-5 minutes.

    3.Mix in the tomato paste and then the taco seasoning. Stir in the water (or beef broth) if filling appears dry and continue to cook until the beef is fully cooked through and most of the cooking liquid has evaporated, about 3-4 minutes. Taste the filling and season with salt, if needed. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly before assembling tacos.

    4.On a clean work surface, place down a tortilla. On the top half of the tortilla, add some mozzarella cheese (about 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons). Spoon over a portion of the beef filling and top with some more cheese (about 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons). Fold the bottom half of the tortilla over the filling and gently press down to seal.

    5.Transfer assembled taco to a large baking sheet and repeat with remaining beef filling, cheese and tortillas for a total of (8) tacos.

    6.Heat up some oil (about 3-4 tablespoons) in a large skillet over medium heat. In batches, pan fry the tacos, about 1 minute per side, or until golden brown. Transfer to a wire cooling rack placed over a baking sheet. If needed, add a little more oil in between frying the batches of tacos to ensure that you get nicely golden brown and crispy tacos.

    7. Garnish tacos with fresh cilantro (optional) and serve immediately while still hot and crispy with your favorite sauce. Enjoy!
