Scale
Ground Beef Mixture:
- 1 pound lean ground beef (90%)
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 3/4 cup red enchilada sauce
Taco Assembly:
- 2 1/2 cups Oaxaca cheese or Mexican cheese or Monterey Jack
- 10 corn tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450F. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Stir in the taco seasoning and enchilada sauce. Bring to a simmer, then remove from heat.
- Prepare the Tortillas: Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30–60 seconds until pliable. Brush one side of each tortilla with olive oil. Place the tortilla on a baking sheet, oiled side down. Add 2 tablespoons of cheese to half of the tortilla, top with 1/4 cup of beef, then add 2 more tablespoons of cheese. Fold the tortilla over the filling.
- Bake the Tacos: Repeat with the remaining tortillas and arrange the tacos in a single layer on your baking sheet. Bake for 16 minutes, or until tortillas are crispy and cheese is melted. Let tacos cool for 3 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Warm Tortillas: Make sure tortillas are warm before folding. If they crack or won’t stay folded, secure them with a toothpick.
- Best Pan Choice: Bake directly on a nonstick or ceramic sheet pan. Avoid foil, as the tortillas may stick to it.
