Cheesy Rotel Tacos for Taco Tuesday

Here’s a tasty and easy recipe for Cheesy Rotel Tacos, perfect for Taco Tuesday! 🌮🌮🌮


Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450 g) ground beef or ground turkey
  • 1 can (10 oz) Rotel diced tomatoes & green chilies
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade: 1 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp paprika, salt & pepper to taste)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend)
  • 8–10 small taco shells or tortillas
  • Optional toppings: shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, sliced jalapeños, guacamole

Instructions:

  1. Cook the meat:
    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess grease.
  2. Add Rotel & seasoning:
    Stir in the Rotel and taco seasoning. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until heated through and slightly thickened.
  3. Add cheese:
    Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheese until melted and creamy.
  4. Assemble tacos:
    Spoon the cheesy Rotel mixture into taco shells. Top with your favorite toppings.
  5. Serve:
    Serve warm with extra cheese or a squeeze of lime if desired.

Tips:

  • For a quicker version, use pre-cooked taco meat from the store.
  • Add black beans or corn for extra texture and flavor.
  • Make it a skillet dinner by serving it over rice or tortilla chips for a taco casserole twist.

If you want, I can also create a super cheesy, ooey-gooey version that’s perfect for sharing with family and friends—it’s basically a Rotel dip in taco form! Do you want me to do that?
