Ingredients
- 313 Urban Taco & Fajita Tortillas (6")
- 313 Urban Chili Lime Tortilla Chips or 313 Urban Salted Tortilla Chips
- 1 lb ground meat/your preferred type of protein
- 1 package shredded cheese
- Shredded lettuce
- Diced tomatoes
- Sour cream
Directions
- Start by prepping all ingredients. Cook the ground meat thoroughly and season as desired. Wash and shred the lettuce, then wash and dice the tomatoes.
- Lay one 313 Urban 6-inch flour tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Add a couple of spoonfuls of cooked ground meat to the center. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top, followed by shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, a spoonful of sour cream, and one 313 Urban tortilla chip for crunch.
- Fold the edges of the tortilla tightly toward the center, forming a sealed mini wrap.
- Heat a pan over medium heat and sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheese directly onto the pan.
- Place the folded slider seam-side down onto the melting cheese. Let it cook for a few minutes until the cheese becomes golden and crispy.
- Flip and heat the other side until warmed through and lightly golden.
- Repeat these steps until all ingredients have been used.
- Serve warm on their own or with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy!
