Ingredients
- 6-8 small whole wheat tortillas
- 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- A couple dashes of worcestershire sauce

- 1 tablespoon buffalo sauce

Instructions
-
First, pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees. Spray 6-8 small whole wheat tortillas with cooking spray and sprinkle with garlic salt. Bake for about 6-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until toasted and golden brown. Top each tortilla with cheese and bake for an additional 2 minutes or just until cheese is melted.
-
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add the chunk of ground beef and cook 3 minutes per side or until each side is golden brown and slightly charred. Break up the ground beef and cook until no longer pink in the middle. Add in worcestershire sauce and spices and mix until well-incorporated. Remove the meat from the pan and wipe the pan clean.
-
Heat another tablespoon of oil over medium high heat. Add sliced peppers and onion with a generous pinch of salt and cook until slightly wilted and charred, 5-8 minutes.
-
For the spicy ranch, combine the Greek yogurt ranch and buffalo sauce and mix until well-incoporated.
-
To each toasted whole wheat tortilla, add a scoop of ground beef and a generous portion of sautéed peppers and onions. Top with slices of avocado, lime juice, and cilantro. Finally, finish with drizzle of spicy ranch.

Serve and enjoy!
