Create spooky Halloween tacos with cheese slices, olives, and tomatoes designed as snaggle-toothed grins.
Ingredients:
  • 2 plum (Roma) tomatoes, cut length-wise into 3 pieces
  • 12 large pimiento-stuffed green olives
  • 3 slices (1/2 oz each) American cheese
  • 6 taco shells from 1 box (4.7 oz) Old El Paso™ Stand 'n Stuff Taco Shells (10 Count)
  • 1/2 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons from 1 container (6.25 oz) Old El Paso™ 25% Less Sodium Taco Seasoning Mix
  • 1/3 cup water
  • Shredded lettuce, if desired
Instructions:
  • Slice each tomato into three long pieces. Use any remaining tomato pulp inside for extra taco filling, if preferred.
  • Make a flat side on each olive by cutting a slit on one side. Cut each cheese slice in half vertically with a zigzag pattern to resemble teeth.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Place taco shells on a baking sheet and bake for 5 to 7 minutes until heated through. While the shells are baking, cook ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often, until fully cooked; drain any excess fat. Add taco seasoning mix and water to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium and cook for about 5 minutes until the water evaporates, stirring occasionally.
  • Fill tacos with chosen fillings. Position hamburger at the top. Lay the tacos on their sides on a serving plate. Insert 1 tomato slice into the meat filling to resemble a tongue. Place 1 cheese slice with a zigzag edge facing the meat on the top side of the taco between the shell and the filling. Add 2 olives on top of the shell, flat side down, to mimic eyes.
