Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bread slices (sourdough or your choice)
• 250 grams Ground beef or turkey
• 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 100 grams Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Lettuce (shredded)
• 1 large Tomato (diced)
• 4 tablespoons Sour cream
• 2 teaspoons Hot sauce (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Butter (for toasting bread)

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef or turkey and cook, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula, until fully browned (about 6-8 minutes).

Step 2

Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the cooked meat and stir well to coat. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove the meat from heat and set aside.

Step 3

While the meat cooks, spread butter evenly on one side of each bread slice. Heat another skillet or griddle over medium heat and toast the bread, butter-side down, until golden and crispy (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 4

Place the toasted bread slices on a plate, toasted side up. Evenly distribute the cooked taco meat over the slices.

Step 5

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the taco meat. Optionally, you can place the toast under a broiler for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese, if desired.

Step 6

Top each piece of toast with shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes for a fresh crunch.

Step 7

Finish each taco toast with a dollop of sour cream and a drizzle of hot sauce, if you like some extra heat.

Step 8

Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your delicious Taco Toast!
