Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground lean beef
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
• 120 milliliters Water
• 100 grams Low-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 large Tomato, chopped
• 2 cups Lettuce, shredded
• 100 grams Reduced-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 large bag Doritos chips, crushed
• 8 pieces High-protein tortillas
• 1 jalapeño Jalapeños, sliced (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground lean beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté with the beef for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.

Step 4

While the beef mixture is simmering, prepare the taco toppings by chopping the tomato, shredding the lettuce, and grating the cheese if not pre-shredded.

Step 5

Warm the high-protein tortillas according to the package instructions.

Step 6

To assemble the tacos, place a heaping spoonful of the beef mixture onto each tortilla.

Step 7

Top with a dollop of low-fat Greek yogurt, followed by the chopped tomato, shredded lettuce, and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 8

Finish each taco with a generous handful of crushed Doritos for that signature crunch. Add sliced jalapeños if desired for an extra kick.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy these flavorful, protein-rich tacos!
