Cheesy Rotel Beef Tacos

Print Recipe

Warm, cheesy, and wonderfully savory, these Cheesy Rotel Beef Tacos are a family favorite that come together quickly and shine at casual gatherings.

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 of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 4 to 6 minutes.
  2. Brown the beef. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up as it cooks. Sprinkle taco seasoning over the meat and stir to combine. Cook until browned, about 8 to 12 minutes, and drain excess fat if desired.
  3. Make the roux. In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Stir in 1/3 cup all-purpose flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
  4. Add milk and thicken. Gradually whisk in 2 1/2 cups milk, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens, about 4 to 6 minutes.
  5. Combine with Rotel. Stir in the two undrained 10 oz cans of 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. Serve immediately.

Notes

Store beef and Rotel cheese sauce separately for up to 4 days. Freeze separately in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
