Weeknight dinners don’t get any easier and quicker than this! We loved this dish especially with our crazy schedule! I used a spicy cilantro salsa to give it a little extra flavor, but really anything you want to add is fine. I added some leftover shredded carrots to add some veggies in for my son and he didn’t even notice. I also used some Hatch tortillas I found at HEB. They didn’t hold up and crumbled when using as a tortilla so it worked perfect in this dish.

1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup sliced green onions
In a large skillet, brown beef until no longer pink.

Cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes or until the sauce thickens.

Top with sour cream in the center and sprinkle with green onions. Serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
Use a mild salsa if you’re making it for kids.
You can stack your tortillas and use a pizza cutter to slice them all in one easy step.
