Did your afternoon meeting run late? Do you need to drop the kids off at three different after-school activities? This taco skillet recipe is here to save the day. Made with everyday ingredients and pantry staples<\/a> you likely have in your cupboards, it’s the perfect quick and affordable recipe<\/a>. Save this one for those nights when you need dinner, and you need dinner now<\/em>.<\/p>\n As with many of our other favorite skillet recipes<\/a>, this one begins with a pound of ground beef<\/a> and a bit of chopped onion. Once the meat is browned, a generous pour of your favorite taco sauce, a can of corn and a layer of sliced corn tortillas are added to the pan. Creamy, melty cheddar cheese finishes off the dish. From there, cook everything until it is warm and bubbly, then serve the dish with additional cheese, hot sauce and your favorite taco toppings<\/a>.<\/p>\n Our skillet tacos recipe is super adaptable, so feel free to freestyle. Add beans, change up the protein or toss in extra vegetables. We’ve listed some of our favorite variations below for inspiration. If you accidentally go a little crazy, just add some extra taco sauce to keep everything moist. The cheesy taco skillet recipe is pretty difficult to mess up, so it is perfect for beginners and kids who want to try cooking<\/a> all by themselves.<\/p>\n In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the beef and onions until the meat is no longer pink. Drain to remove excess fat and water.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Believe it or not, there’s a wrong way to brown ground beef. Here’s how to cook and brown ground beef<\/a> the right way.<\/p>\n To the beef mixture, add the corn, tortilla pieces, taco sauce and 1 cup cheese. Continue to cook until bubbly and heated through.<\/p>\n To serve, sprinkle with the remaining cheese, a drizzle of hot sauce if desired, and any other toppings. Enjoy!<\/p>\n Leftovers of this cheesy taco skillet recipe should be kept refrigerated in an airtight food storage container.<\/p>\n This taco skillet will stay fresh for three to four days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n Reheat leftover taco skillet on the stovetop over medium heat until heated through. Alternatively, you can warm it in the microwave on a microwave-safe plate until hot.<\/p>\n You can make skillet tacos with flour tortillas<\/a> if you prefer them over corn tortillas. However, flour tortillas do absorb liquid differently than corn tortillas, so they will have a slightly soggier taste and texture. If you think this will bother you, stick with the corn tortillas, as they will maintain a firmer texture in the casserole.<\/p>\n Yes! While the beauty of the original recipe is that it takes advantage of pantry staples to make a low-fuss, semi-homemade dinner<\/a>, you can swap in homemade taco sauce if you prefer. Try this easy taco sauce recipe<\/a>.<\/p>\n While this taco skillet can totally serve as an all-in-one meal, you can add more to your fiesta-inspired spread with a platter of Mexican street corn<\/a>, a bowl of homemade refried beans<\/a>, a pot of fluffy Spanish rice<\/a> or a basket of jalapeno corn muffins<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This easy taco skillet recipe comes together in under 30 minutes and is made with everyday pantry staples.
