Ingredients
-
1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
-
1 packet of taco seasoning
-
¾ cup red enchilada sauce
-
2 ½ cups Oaxaca cheese, Mexican cheese, or Monterey Jack (shredded)
-
10 corn tortillas
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
-
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.
-
Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30–60 seconds to make them 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 each tortilla. Top with ¼ cup of beef mixture, then add 2 more tablespoons of cheese on top.
-
Fold the tortilla over the filling and arrange the tacos in a single layer on the 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 using foil, as the tortillas may stick to it.
