Main Ingredients

Method

Cooking the Beef

  1. 1

    Brown the Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, approximately 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.

  2. 2

    Add Seasoning

    Once the beef is browned, drain any excess grease. Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the beef and stir in 1/4 cup of water. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the seasoning is well incorporated.

Assembling the T-Bird

  1. 3

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Warm the large tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.

  2. 4

    Layer the Ingredients

    On each tortilla, spread a generous spoonful of ranch dressing. Then add a portion of the seasoned beef, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.

  3. 5

    Add Toppings

    Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and a dollop of sour cream. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro for garnish.

Serving

  1. 6

    Roll and Serve

    Carefully roll up each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. Cut in half if desired and serve immediately, with extra ranch dressing on the side.
