Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free tortilla chips
• 8 small Corn tortillas (gluten-free)
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning (gluten-free)
• 0.25 cup Water

• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Shredded lettuce
• 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Sour cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the gluten-free tortilla chips in a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a shallow plate.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine cheddar cheese powder, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well and add to the tortilla chip crumbs, stirring to combine.

Step 4

Lightly spray each corn tortilla with a bit of cooking spray and press both sides into the Doritos-seasoned crumbs, ensuring an even coating. Place coated tortillas on a baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake the coated tortillas in the oven for 5-7 minutes until crispy and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 6

In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

Step 7

Add the gluten-free taco seasoning and water to the beef. Stir well to combine and simmer for about 5 minutes, until the mixture is thickened.

Step 8

To assemble the tacos, take each Doritos-style taco shell and fill it with the seasoned beef mixture.

Step 9

Top each taco with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Gluten-Free Doritos Locos Tacos.
