Beef Taco Skillet
Added on Jul 29, 2026
1 pound ground beef
1 can (10.75 ounces) Campbell’s® Condensed Tomato Soup
1/2 cup Pace® Picante Sauce
1/2 cup water
6 flour tortillas (6-inch), cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (about 2 ounces)
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup diced fresh tomato, for garnish (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Cook the beef in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until well browned, about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often to separate meat. Pour off any fat. Stir the soup, picante sauce, water and tortillas in the skillet and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and then stir in the sour cream. Cook for 5 minutes. Stir the beef mixture. Top with the cheese and let the dish rest for a few minutes, until the cheese melts. Garnish with the diced tomato and chopped cilantro, if desired, then serve.
