Smashed Cowboy Butter Steak-Style Tortilla Melts with Spicy Dipping Sauce

Instructions

Step 1: In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and cook the ground beef until browned. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes.

Step 2: Stir in the onions and red bell pepper. Cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add cowboy butter and stir to coat everything in the flavorful mix.

Step 3: Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place a tortilla down and add a generous scoop of the beef mixture on one half. Top with shredded cheese.

Step 4: Fold the tortilla over to form a half-moon. Press it gently with a spatula and cook until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 5: Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 6: In a small bowl, mix together all ingredients for the spicy dipping sauce until smooth.

Step 7: Slice tortilla melts into wedges and serve hot with dipping sauce on the side.

Storage Information

Store leftover tortilla melts in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or air fryer to maintain crispiness. The spicy dipping sauce can be refrigerated for up to 5 days.
