Make tacos as dips. It's much easier than assembling individual tacos: the prepared meat and bean filling is coated with sour cream and baked in the oven under a layer of shredded sharp cheddar until the cheese melts. The filling is then topped with traditional taco toppings: sliced ​​tomatoes, shredded iceberg lettuce, olives, and jalapeños. Serve directly in the casserole, with tortilla chips nearby for scooping up the appetizer and enjoying it with a cold beer. The meat filling can be made a day ahead and refrigerated.

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
• 700 g of ground beef
• Half a 40g packet of taco spice mix or 3 tbsp. homemade taco seasoning
• 2 tbsp tomato paste

• 2 cups sour cream
• 2 cups grated sharp cheddar
• 1 large tomato, chopped
• 2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
• Sliced ​​black olives and/or pickled jalapeños, optional
• Tortilla chips, for serving

Preparation:

Step 1
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned throughout, 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat, add the taco seasoning, and toss to coat evenly.
Step 2
• Add the tomato paste and stir until it darkens to a dull brick red, about 30 seconds. Add 3/4 cup water, bring to a boil, and simmer until the sauce thickens, 2-3 minutes. Add the beans and stir to heat through. Remove from heat and transfer to an 8-inch square baking dish.
Step 3
• Cover the meat mixture with an even layer of sour cream, then a layer of cheddar. Sprinkle with chopped tomatoes, lettuce, olives, and jalapeños. Serve with tortilla chips.
