Elevate your Taco Tuesday with this incredibly easy Blackstone Street Tacos recipe. The griddle perfectly cooks the savory taco filling while simultaneously toasting your tortillas to a slight, irresistible crispness. With plenty of room to keep everything warm, serving a crowd has never been simpler!
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend works best)
- 1 medium White onion (finely diced, divided)
- 1 packet Taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup Water (for the taco seasoning)
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil (for the griddle)
- 8 Small tortillas (corn or flour)
- 1/2 bunch Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
- 1 Lime (cut into wedges)
- 1 cup Shredded cheese (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your Blackstone griddle. Set one side to medium-high heat (for cooking the meat) and the other side to low heat (for keeping the food warm).
- Drizzle the vegetable oil onto the medium-high zone. Add half of the diced white onion (reserve the rest for garnish) and sauté for about 2 minutes until it begins to soften.
- Add the ground beef to the onions. Break it apart with your spatula and cook until nicely browned and no longer pink (about 5-7 minutes).
- Sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly over the cooked beef and pour in the water. Stir well to combine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the meat beautifully.
- Scrape the finished taco meat over to the low-heat zone of your griddle to keep it hot and ready for serving.
- Place your tortillas on the medium-heat side of the griddle. Toast them for about 30-45 seconds per side until they are warm, pliable, and have a slight, golden crispness. (Tip: toast them right where you cooked the meat to absorb those extra flavors!)
- Assemble the tacos! Spoon the hot beef mixture into the warmed tortillas. Top with the reserved raw diced onions, fresh cilantro, and shredded cheese.
- Serve immediately with fresh lime wedges on the side.
