Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup diced white onion
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 pound ground chuck
  • 3/4 cup chopped white onion
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 8 -inch flour tortillas
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 14 ounce can diced green chilies
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Picante sauce to taste

Instructions

Cooking Instructions:

  • In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the diced white onion. Sauté until the onions become translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the ground chuck, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until browned. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Once cooked, sprinkle the flour over the meat mixture and stir to combine.
  • Gradually pour in the milk while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, then fold in the diced green chilies and 3/4 cup of chopped white onion. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In another skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the flour tortillas one at a time, frying until they turn golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  • On each fried tortilla, spread a generous amount of the creamy filling. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and any additional toppings of your choice. If you like it spicy, drizzle with picante sauce.
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the assembled pizzas on a baking sheet and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Slice into wedges and enjoy your Taco Villa Things with friends and family!
