Double Decker Beef Tacos

May 11, 2013

I know I have expressed this before…when it comes to guilty pleasures, I’m embarrassed to share Taco Bell is my list. A few months ago I made one of my favorite Taco Bell inspired recipes at home. I had fun trying to make it a healthier option and it tastes better than Taco Bell.

1 1/2 tsp canola oil
1/2 onion, diced
1 tbsp garlic, minced
1 jalapeno pepper, minced
1 1/2 tsp chili powder
3/4 tsp ground cumin
3/4 tsp ground coriander
1/8 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
6 ounces 90% lean ground beef
2 tbsp unsalted tomato sauce
1/2 cup fat-free refried beans (I found a black bean kind, it was awesome!!)
4 (6-inch) flour tortillas
2 ounces preshredded reduced-fat Mexican-blend cheese or cheddar cheese (about 1/2 cup)
4 hard taco shells
1/2 cup thinly sliced iceberg lettuce
1/2 cup diced tomato
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream or Greek yogurt

Set your broiler to high. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil. Add onion; sauté and stir for 4 minutes. Add garlic and next 6 ingredients (through black pepper); sauté 1 minute, stirring...
