  • 1/2 Tbsp 8g Olive Oil

Taco Filling

  • 1 lb Ground Beef nutrition facts with 96/4
  • 1 C 248g Fat Free Refried Beans
  • 1/2 C 113g Fat Free Greek Yogurt
  • 1/2 C 56g Shredded Cheddar , or your choice of cheese

Beef Seasoning (can sub for taco seasoning)

  • 2 Tbsp Cheddar Powder optional

  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • Cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until no pink remains. Add the seasoning blend 3/4 way through cooking.
  • Reduce the heat to low and add the Greek yogurt and beans, stirring well. Heat until warm throughout before allowing the mixture to cool while you prepare the crust. 
  • Add the flour and 1 C yogurt to a food processor (you can also mix by hand). Pulse until a rough dough forms.

  • Place the dough on a large piece of parchment paper or baking mat and use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a large rectangle (about 15x10). You may want to spray the surface with nonstick spray or lightly flour to prevent sticking.

  • Add the beef mixture on top of the rolled dough and top with the shredded cheese. Leave about an inch on the sides to prevent overflow when rolling. (Make sure the beef mixture isn't too warm before adding to the dough.)

  • Use a knife to slice the roll into 8 pieces, placing each slice on its side. Brush the olive oil around the edges of each slice. 
  • Slice the parchment paper or baking mat onto a large baking sheet and bake for 28-32 minutes. The outer crust should be crisp and golden brown and the inner layers should be cooked through. (If the outside starts to burn before the inner layers bake, cover them with aluminum foil to finish baking.)
