Method
Beef Mixture
Cook diced red onion and minced garlic in a pan for 5 minutes until soft.
Add lean ground beef to the pan and cook, stirring until browned.
Sprinkle the simple seasoning (salt, pepper, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, smoked paprika, onion powder) over the meat and stir.
Add tomato paste and chipotle paste, mixing until the mixture turns golden brown.
Tortilla Prep
Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and spray with cooking oil.
Sprinkle paprika onto the oiled parchment.
Dip each tortilla in the beef juices and oil, then lay them out on the sheet pan.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese onto the tortillas, then add the cooked beef mixture.
Fold the tortillas tightly over the filling.
Bake in a pre‑heated oven at 350°F (370°F) for 16 minutes, flipping halfway (8 minutes each side).
Honey Chipotle Sauce
In a bowl, combine light mayo, chipotle paste, paprika, chopped parsley, honey, and evaporated milk.
Mix until smooth and creamy.
Pineapple Pico de Gallo: Combine chopped red onion, white onion, tomato, green pepper, pineapple, chopped coriander, and lime juice in a bowl.
Serving
Dip each crispy taco into the honey chipotle sauce and enjoy.
