For the Taco Meat:

  • 1 lb lean ground beef (93% lean or higher)
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth (low sodium)
  • 1 oz taco seasoning mix (reduced sodium)
  • Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

For the Queso:

  • 1 cup evaporated milk (low-fat)
  • 3 slices reduced-fat American cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese, grated
  • 2 tablespoons pickled jalapeño brine
  • A dash of ground cumin

For Assembly:

  • 2 (2 oz.) bags baked sweet chili Doritos or tortilla chips (look for reduced-fat options)
  • 3 cups shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup diced white onion
  • 1 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 cup pickled jalapeños
  • 1 cup sour cream (light or reduced-fat), thinned out with a splash of milk
  • 1 cup green onions, sliced thin
  • 2 cups diced tomato
  • 1 cup crumbled queso fresco (or reduced-fat feta as a substitute)
  • 1 bottle Valentina hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Taco Meat:
  • In a sauté pan over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Add chicken broth and taco seasoning. Continue cooking until the liquid is evaporated and the beef is fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  1. Make the Queso:
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine evaporated milk and American cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth. Add the grated cheddar cheese, pickled jalapeño brine, and a dash of ground cumin. Stir until all the cheese is melted and the queso is smooth. Season with a pinch of salt if needed. Set aside.
  1. Assemble the Tacos:
  • Open the bags of baked chips (Doritos or Cheetos). Remove half of the chips from each bag and unfold it slightly to create a taco shell.
  • Add a scoop of taco meat, a spoonful of queso, and a handful of shredded lettuce to each bag.
  • Top with diced onion, chopped cilantro, and pickled jalapeños. Add another scoop of taco meat and drizzle with additional queso.
  • Finish with a dollop of light sour cream, diced tomato, sliced green onions, crumbled queso fresco, and a few squirts of Valentina hot sauce.
