Crispy Rolled Chipotle Beef Tacos are bold, smoky, and crunchy, made with tender chipotle-seasoned ground beef wrapped in tortillas and pan-fried to golden perfection. They’re ideal for taco night, game day, or anytime you want a satisfying handheld bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • 10 small corn or flour tortillas
  • Oil, for pan frying
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole, salsa, chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and onion until beef is browned and onion is soft. Drain excess grease.
  2. Add garlic, chipotle peppers, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook for 2–3 more minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Warm tortillas until pliable. Place about 2 tablespoons of beef mixture and a sprinkle of cheese on each tortilla. Roll tightly and secure seam-side down.
  4. Heat 1–2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook tacos seam-side down first, in batches, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden and crispy, about 5–7 minutes.
  5. Drain on paper towels and serve hot with your favorite toppings or dips.

Notes

  • Use toothpicks to hold rolled tacos together if needed while frying.
  • For extra crisp, brush with oil and bake at 425°F for 15–20 minutes instead of pan frying.
  • Leftover filling can be used in quesadillas or burritos.
  • Serve with lime wedges for a zesty finish.
