INGREDIENTS

• 12 medium sized flour tortillas

• 400g extra lean ground beef

• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack

• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning

• 2 tablespoons water

DIRECTIONS

Cook ground beef in a large sauté pan over medium high heat, breaking it into pieces as it cooks. After 3 minutes add in chopped onion and serrano pepper. Continue to cook until meat is browned and crispy. Drain any excess fat and add in taco seasoning and water, stirring to combine.

Preheat oven to 400F. Top 6 of the 12 tortillas with both types of cheese, the ground beef mixture, avocados pieces and chopped cilantro. Top them with the remaining 6 tortillas and place on parchment lined baking sheets. Cook in the oven until the cheese has melted and the edges of the tortillas are golden (approximately 8-10 minutes).  Cut and serve with Creamy Cilantro Dipping Sauce.
