Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the 1 lb ground beef, breaking it up, until browned and no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in the 1 oz taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water. Simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup milk. Stir constantly until melted and smooth, about 3 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Warm the 8 tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Fill each with the beef mixture, drizzle with cheese sauce, and top with the 1 cup diced tomatoes and chopped cilantro if desired.

  5. Step 5

    Serve immediately.
