Happy Taco Tuesday! I’ve been wearin’ out the Blackstone, of late. Here’s a classic for ya.
 
Classic Blackstone Tacos
 
1 lb. ground beef
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles
2 tbsp taco seasoning
1/4 cup water
12 regular size corn or flour tortillas
3/4 cup shredded cheese (Monterey Jack)
1/4 cup crumbled Cotija cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 lime, cut into wedges
1 tbsp oil (I used olive oil)
Kosher salt and fresh-ground pepper, to taste
 
Preheat your griddle to medium-high heat and allow it to preheat for a few minutes.
Add the oil to the griddle and spread it evenly.
Place the ground beef on the griddle and use a spatula to break it into smaller pieces.
Season with taco seasoning and add water
Cook the beef until it starts to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
While the ground beef cooks, add the onions and green chiles to a separate oiled part of the griddle.
Once the beef is cooked, add the onions and chiles into it and turn off that side of the griddle.
Add tortillas to the griddle and cook until warm and browned.
Sprinkle shredded Monterey jack cheese on one side of the tortilla.
Add the ground beef mixture to the other side and flip the tortilla in half.
Work in batches until you have all the tacos together.
Remove tacos from the griddle and sprinkle Cotija cheese and fresh cilantro on top.
Garnish with lime wedges and serve while warm
