Lacey’s Pantry: Street Pan Tacos
Total Time: 1 hour and 40 minutes
Servings: 12
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp canola oil, divided
2 cups yellow onion, chopped
3 pounds ground beef
2 oz taco seasoning, divided
2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
4 cups shredded Colby jack cheese
16 (8-inch) flour tortillas
1½ cups pico de gallo
Sour cream for dipping
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray the bottom and sides of a 13×18-inch rimmed baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Set out an additional 13 x 18-inch pan for later. This pan doesn’t need to be sprayed.
In a large skillet, on medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon canola oil. Add the 2 cups chopped yellow onions and sauté them for 2 to 3 minutes or until they are translucent and soft. Transfer the cooked onions to a plate and set them aside.
To the same large skillet, on medium-high heat, add half of the ground beef and 1 oz. of taco seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Cook the ground beef for 4 to 5 minutes and incorporate spices. Transfer the cooked ground beef to a large bowl or large shallow dish, and repeat with the second half of the ground beef and another 1 oz. of taco seasoning, remaining 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper until all the ground beef is cooked. Transfer the rest of the cooked ground beef to the bowl with the first batch of cooked ground beef.
Add the cooked yellow onions to the cooked ground beef in the bowl, and stir to incorporate.
Lay out 10 of the flour tortillas on the oiled pan. Make sure they overlap and hand over the side of the pan by about 2 inches. The part of the flour tortillas that are overhanging will be used to fold over and seal the sheet pan tacos once assembled.
Using a large slotted spoon, spoon the ground beef mixture evenly over the flour tortillas. Allow as much of the fat from the ground beef mixture to drip off through the slotted spoon before placing the meat onto the tortillas.
Sprinkle the shredded Colby jack cheese evenly over the top of the ground beef layer.

This month western meets safari with this fun army green jumpsuit. I love a good jumpsuit that is simple but stylish and can be accessorized in so many ways. This one especially caught my eye because of the western yoke detail. See this and more at www.jessesjewelz.com
University of North Texas music students were in awe by Texas Music icon, Lyle Lovett recently during his visit to the Denton campus to share his music and personal secrets on navigating a successful music career.
The four-time Grammy winner has recorded 14 albums and has released 25 singles throughout his illustrious career. He’s also most famous for creating his Large Band consisting of his talented rhythm section and a full horn section.
I too have had the honor of recording with Lyle during my time with Asleep At The Wheel and being a UNT grad, I was pleasantly surprised by this act of good will toward these young musicians.

In the April issue of North Texas Farm & Ranch, I introduced the discussion of what is considered the Biden 30X30 Land Grab via the quiet attempt to push through the formation of Natural Asset Companies. If you are a landowner and have not heard about this, I encourage you to research it for your own protection.
Natural Asset Companies would have been publicly tradable securities that hold rights to, and manage the productivity and ecological benefits of natural assets such as natural forests, marine areas and farmland. They place a value on natural processes. Thanks to the watchful eye of a few, NACs have been stopped for now, but make no mistake, this battle is far from over. According to the American Stewards of Liberty, the Intrinsic Exchange Group is the company responsible for the failed attempt to monetize natural processes via the development of “Natural Asset Companies.”
The New York Times is already helping IEG to set the stage for a rebranding of the idea with the article they ran entitled “Nature Has Value. Could We Literally Invest In It?” which ran on Feb. 18 of this year. The NYT readily assured their readers that, “Natural asset companies would put a market price on improving ecosystems, rather than on destroying them.” That is a perfect lead-in for IEG as they had already indicated that they would be rebranding the idea in yet another attempt to create the investment vehicle.
