cheeseburger tacos with chipotle cheddar queso_____________________________________I used vegetarian ground, but beef is perfectly fine! The important part is the queso, anyway.
Ingredients
- 2 lb vegetarian beef ground, or real beef
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (omit if using real beef)
- kosher salt and pepper, to taste
- lettuce, tomato, and onion rings, to serve
- 8-10 corn or wheat tortillas
chipotle cheddar queso
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp all purpose flour
- 2 cups milk (oat, whole, or half and half)
- 1 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1-2 tbsp chipotle chiles in adobo
Instructions
- First prep the queso. Melt butter over medium heat in a small saucepan. Once it begins crackling, vigorously whisk flour. Slowly stream milk into pan, whisking constantly. Add cheese and whisk until melted, then finish with chipotle peppers and sauce. Taste and adjust for salt and pepper, as desired. Keep warm, stirring occasionally.
- In another skillet or pan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium. Brown vegetarian beef or real beef with onion, garlic powder, Worcestershire (if using), and salt and pepper, for about 5-8 minutes.
- Warm tortillas in a microwave for 10-15 seconds under a damp paper towel or cloth. To assemble tacos, add lettuce to the bottom of each tortilla, then spoon beef evenly into each. Garnish with tomatoes and drizzle queso generously overtop. Serve with crispy onion rings.
