Pepper Jack Tacos

'Tis the season for easy weeknight meals. I was inspired to make a remix on a favorite taco recipe, and we ended up loving it! It's a little spicy, but nothing we couldn't handle. If your family is a little sensitive to spice, you can reduce the amount of pepper jack cheese and add in a little cheddar cheese. Easy! Try this recipe this week. 😉

Pepper Jack Tacos

Serves: 4-6

Ingredients:

1lb lean ground beef (I use 93/7)

1/2 package taco seasoning

1/2 cup mild taco sauce

1 cup of shredded pepper jack cheese  

Hard taco shells (I like stand and stuff) 

Green onions, lettuce, sour cream and cheddar cheese to garnish 

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a pan with foil. 
2. In a skillet over medium high heat, begin browning your ground beef, breaking the meat up into small pieces. 
3. Once your beef is cooked through, add in your 1/2 package of taco seasoning and mild taco sauce. Give things a really good mix until things are incorporated well. 
4. Next, reduce the heat and stir in the pepper jack cheese until it is melted. 
5. Scoop a generous spoonful into each taco shell and top with some shredded cheddar cheese, then place on your foil lined pan.
6. Place your filled taco shells into the oven and cook for 5-8 minutes. You want the taco shells to get toasted and the cheese to melt. Don't skip this step - it's what makes them so delicious! 
7. Remove from the oven and top with green onion, lettuce and sour cream. That's it! Dinner is served. 😊
