Cheesy Gordita Crunch Recipe
For those who want to make their own cheeses, you can use soft cheeses such as cheddar cheese. Instead of using a box of chips, you can use a tortilla as the base. This gordita crunch is super yummy and can be made in 35 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound extra-lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 4 hard taco shells
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese, divided (plus more for serving)
- 4 mini flour tortillas
- 1 cup iceberg lettuce
Spicy ranch sauce
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoon ranch seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (such as tabasco)
Instructions
- Turn the oven on to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Using a spoon, break up the ground beef and season with salt & pepper in a large skillet over high heat.
- Once the taco seasoning is added, cook for 10 minutes, until the tacos are fully cooked.
- In the meantime, mix the sour cream with the ranch seasoning and hot sauce. Set aside hard taco shells with taco meat divided among them.
- Place a layer of cheese on top of each tortilla, then bake in the oven for 5 minutes until the cheese has completely melted. Wrap soft taco shells around the bacon and gently press. Remove from oven.
- Add spicy ranch sauce and lettuce to tacos, then top them with cheese. Take a bite and enjoy.
