Why You’ll Love This Recipe ❤️

Crispy oven-baked shells — no deep-frying required!
Double-layered filling — savoury beef + creamy mushrooms for the ultimate texture.
Smoky, tangy flavour from paprika, cumin, and that red sour cream sauce.
Crowd-friendly — easily bake a dozen at once for your next taco night.

The Perfect Filling Combo 🌮

Start with the beef base, seasoned with smoked paprika, garlic, and a touch of cumin. The cornstarch and beef stock bring that saucy texture that clings beautifully to the tortilla. Then comes the mushroom mix — buttery, creamy, and just slightly tangy from sour cream. Combine them for a rich, velvety filling that’s both meaty and satisfying.

That Red Sour Cream Sauce 🔥

This smoky, slightly sweet red sour cream sauce is the star of the show. Tomato paste, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and a squeeze of lime come together to balance the richness of the cheese and beef. It’s so good you’ll want to double it — and drizzle it over everything. 😋

How to Assemble Like a Pro 👨‍🍳

Warm your tortillas to keep them pliable (no cracking!).
Fill & roll: Add the beef-mushroom mix, roll tightly, and line them up seam-side down in your baking dish.
Top generously with a cheddar-mozzarella blend for that signature cheesy melt.
Bake until golden, about 10–15 minutes.
Finish strong: Add the colourful pepper mix, fresh cilantro, and a drizzle of that red sour cream sauce.

Serving Ideas 🍽️

Serve these tacos with:

A side of guacamole or pico de gallo 🥑
Mexican rice or corn salad 🌽
A cold lime margarita or agua fresca 🍹

Each bite combines smoky, creamy, and tangy flavours — an absolute hit for weeknight dinners or game-day feasts.

Pro Tips 💡

Warm tortillas briefly in the microwave or skillet before rolling.

Bake extra sauce on the side — it makes a killer taco dip!
