Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef or ground turkey (lean, preferably)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning or 2 tbsp homemade blend (chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, oregano)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or thawed frozen)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 avocado, sliced or mashed
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • Fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • Optional: sliced jalapeños, black olives, or pickled red onions
  • 10–12 small flour or corn tortillas

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or foil if desired.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine ground beef or turkey with taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water. Mix well.
  3. Spread the seasoned meat evenly on one side of the sheet pan.
  4. Toss sliced bell peppers, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and corn kernels with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on the other side of the sheet pan.
  5. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring meat and veggies halfway through (around 12 minutes).
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over meat and veggies. Return to oven for 3-5 minutes until cheese melts.
  7. While cheese melts, prepare toppings: slice avocado, chop cilantro, and cut lime wedges. Set out sour cream or Greek yogurt.
  8. Wrap tortillas in foil and warm in oven for last 5 minutes or warm on a dry skillet for 30 seconds each side.
  9. Transfer sheet pan to table and let everyone assemble their own tacos with meat, veggies, cheese, and toppings.

Notes

If making gluten-free, use corn tortillas. For dairy-free, substitute sour cream with coconut yogurt and omit or replace cheese with a dairy-free alternative. Stir meat and veggies halfway through roasting for even cooking. Watch cheese closely to avoid burning. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and can be frozen separately.
