Ingredients

For the Filling

• 1 lb ground beef

• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into small squares

• 1 small onion, diced

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 tsp paprika

• Salt & black pepper to taste

• 1 tbsp olive oil

For the Tacos

• 10 corn tortillas

• 1½ cups shredded mozzarella or Mexican cheese blend

• Oil for frying or crisping

Optional Toppings

• Shredded lettuce

• Sour cream

• Jalapeños

• Salsa

• Fresh cilantro

• Avocado slices

Instructions

1. Brown the Ground Beef

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until nicely browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.

Add onion and garlic, then cook for 2 more minutes until fragrant.

Season with paprika, salt, and black pepper.

2. Add the Potatoes

Add the potatoes cut into small squares directly into the skillet with the beef. Stir well and cook for about 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes become tender.

3. Build the Tacos

Warm the corn tortillas slightly so they don’t crack. Add cheese to one side, spoon in the beef and potato mixture, then fold the tortilla over.

4. Crisp Them Up

Add a thin layer of oil to a skillet over medium heat. Cook tacos 2–3 minutes per side until crispy, golden, and melty inside.

Place on paper towels for a minute before serving.

Serve warm with your favorite salsa and toppings.

Gris Kitchen Style Tip 🤍

Cutting the potatoes into small squares helps them cook right in the skillet with the beef while soaking up all the flavor from the meat and seasonings.
