Warm, cheesy, and full of bright tomato and chile flavor, these Cheesy Rotel Beef Tacos are a weeknight favorite that pleases a crowd.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds ground beef
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • Taco seasoning, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 cans (10 oz each) Rotel, undrained

Instructions

  1. Heat the skillet. In a large skillet, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 4 to 6 minutes.
  2. Brown the beef. Add the 3 pounds ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up as it cooks. Sprinkle taco seasoning over the meat, stir to combine, and continue cooking until fully browned.
  3. Make the roux. In a separate saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Stir in 1/3 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Add milk and thicken. Gradually whisk in 2 1/2 cups milk, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens.
  5. Combine with Rotel. Stir the undrained 2 cans Rotel into the thickened sauce and heat through for 1 to 2 minutes.
  6. Assemble and serve. Spoon the seasoned beef mixture into taco shells and top with the cheesy Rotel sauce.

Notes

Serve immediately while hot. Customize with your favorite toppings.
