Create an easy weeknight meal with Easy Flatbread Tacos. Used canned biscuits for your taco base and let everyone add on their favorite taco toppings.
One of our standard family meals was tacos. It was quick and it was easy – a pound of hamburger, some store bought crispy taco shells and a few toppings. For my kids it was basically ketchup and grated cheese!
Today’s recipe is a stepped up version of those tacos. Flatbread Tacosis still quick and easy to prepare but a little more fun to eat!
This recipe is one of those “no brainer” type of meals and I love it. Instead of taco shells it uses flatbread which is made quickly and easily out of canned biscuits. The flatbread is nice and sturdy too so you can load it up with your favorite taco ingredients.
Ingredients Needed
- Canned Biscuits
- Ground Beef
- Taco Seasoning
- Sour Cream
- Black Olives
- Lettuce
- Tomato
- Cheddar Cheese
How to Make Flatbread Tacos
- Mix together the sour cream and taco seasoning to taste and chill at least 30 minutes.
- Brown Hamburger in a large pan, over medium heat until no longer pink, then drain.
- Add in the taco seasoning and cook according to the directions on the back of the package.
- Roll out each canned biscuit into a 6-in. circle. You want a nice even thickness.
- Cook each biscuit on a nonstick skillet or griddle on medium heat until golden brown, about 60 seconds per side.
- Use your hand or a rolling pin to flatten them out. Use a large frying pan or griddle and “dry” fry the bread. Do not use any oil or butter. Cook each side of the flatbread until golden brown, approximately one minute per side.
- Spread each flat bread with cream mixture then top with taco meat.
- Add desired toppings.
Tips from leigh Anne
- When cooking flatbread, do not us any oil or butter. This is a ‘dry fry’ on a non stick surface.
- After browning the ground beef, you can add black or pinto beans if desired.
- When making the seasoned sour cream, just add the packaged taco seasoning until you like the taste. You can also leave the taco seasoning out if you prefer.
One of the great things about this meal is that everyone can personalize it to their taste. Just set out an assortment of toppings and let everyone put their own combination together.
