Ingredients: cooking spray, as needed; 1 lb lean ground beef; 1/2 cup white onion, finely chopped; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 tsp dried oregano; 1 tsp onion powder; 1 tsp garlic powder; 1 tsp paprika; 1 tsp chili powder; 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper; 1 tsp sazón seasoning; 1 tbsp cornstarch; 1/4 cup water; 12 small high-fiber flour tortillas; 1 cup reduced-fat shredded Mexican cheese blend; paprika, for topping; 1 cup low-fat Greek yogurt; 2 tbsp red taco sauce; 1 tbsp water (for sauce); 1 tsp taco seasoning (for sauce)

1

Lightly spray a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.

2

Add the lean ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned.

3

Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.

4

Stir in the oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and sazón seasoning.

5

Sprinkle the cornstarch over the meat mixture, then add the water. Stir until a light sauce forms and thickens slightly.

6

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

7

Lay out the tortillas on a work surface. Spoon the beef mixture onto one half of each tortilla, then top with shredded cheese.

8

Fold the tortillas in half and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

9

Lightly spray the tops of the tacos with cooking spray and sprinkle with a little extra paprika for color.

10

Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the tacos are golden and crispy.

11

While the tacos are baking, prepare the dipping sauce. In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, red taco sauce, water, and taco seasoning. Mix until smooth.

12

Serve the crispy tacos immediately with the yogurt dipping sauce.
