Ingredients

– 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey/chicken for a lighter option)
– 1 packet taco seasoning
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
– 1 cup sour cream
– 1 cup guacamole
– 8 small tortillas (flour or corn)
– 16 black olives (sliced in half)
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
– Lettuce leaves for garnish (optional)
– Red food coloring (optional, for extra spooky effect)


Instructions

Creating your Spooky Eyeball Tacos is simple with these easy steps:

1. Cook the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat, if necessary.
2. Add Seasoning: Add taco seasoning to the beef, along with the recommended amount of water (usually mentioned on the seasoning packet). Stir well and simmer for about 5 minutes until heated through.
3. Prepare Tortillas: Warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until they are pliable.
4. Assemble Tacos: On each tortilla, place a generous amount of the seasoned meat mixture.
5. Add Toppings: Top the meat with shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of guacamole.
6. Create Eyeballs: Place a halved black olive on top of the sour cream for the ‘pupil’ and add a cherry tomato half for the ‘eye’ effect. Use a bit of red food coloring if you want to make it look even more sinister by drizzling it around the eye.
7. Garnish: If desired, add shredded lettuce on the side of the taco for a finishing touch.
8. Serve: Plate the tacos on a spooky platter, and prepare to enjoy the delightful creepiness!

By following these straightforward instructions, you’ll have a delicious dish that’s sure to be a hit at any Halloween gathering.
