Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground sirloin
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil

  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 Tbsp cumin
  • 5 Tbsp Sriracha*, divided
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 8-10 tortillas of choice (I use a corn and whole wheat blend)
  • 1 cup shredded Pepper Jack or Monterrey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, add garlic and shallot and cook for 1-2 minutes, until softened. Add sirloin, breaking up with a spatulas it cooks, until browned.
  • Add water, chili powder, cumin and 2 tablespoons of Sriracha to sirloin mixture. Stir, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • While taco mixture finishes cooking, combine ranch dressing and remaining 3 tablespoons of Sriracha in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • To assemble, warm flour tortillas fill with lettuce, beef, cheese, Sriracha ranch, and tomatoes. 

Notes

*Sriracha is pretty spicy, so adjust the amount according to your tolerance level. If you don’t do well with spicy, you may want to test it 1 tsp at a time.
