DORITOS® FLAMIN' HOT® Ground Beef Tacos

Spice up taco night with these easy beef tacos. Tame the flame with an icy cold beverage or drizzle tacos with a little sour cream to counterbalance the heat.

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 cups DORITOS® FLAMIN' HOT® Nacho Flavored Tortilla Chips
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 can (15 oz) diced fire-roasted tomatoes, with juice
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 8 hard shell tacos
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 jalapeño peppers, thinly sliced

Instructions

  • In food processor, pulse half the DORITOS® FLAMIN' HOT® Nacho Flavored Tortilla Chips to make lightly crushed crumbs; set aside.
  • In large skillet set over medium-high heat, add oil. Add ground beef and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 8 minutes or until starting to brown. Season with cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper.
  • Stir in garlic, onion, chili powder, cumin and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes or until starting to soften. Stir in tomato paste. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute. Stir in fire-roasted tomatoes, lime juice and Worcestershire sauce; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes or until beef is cooked through, most of the liquid has evaporated and sauce is thickened.
  • Divide beef mixture among tacos shells. Top with reserved crushed chips. Garnish with lettuce, cheese and jalapeño. Serve with remaining chips on the side.
