Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the Ground Beef

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat. Stir in taco seasoning and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Poco Loco

    In a baking dish, layer two corn tortillas, half of the cooked ground beef, half of the Cheddar cheese, and half of the Monterey Jack cheese. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients and top with red sauce.

  3. 3

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the assembled Poco Loco for 20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Taco

    While the Poco Loco is baking, prepare the beef taco by filling taco shells with the remaining ground beef, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the Poco Loco hot, garnished with additional red sauce if desired, alongside the crispy beef taco.
