Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb lean ground beef (90%)

  • 1 packet taco seasoning

  • ¾ cup red enchilada sauce

  • 2 ½ cups shredded Oaxaca, Mexican blend, or Monterey Jack cheese

  • 10 corn tortillas

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

  2. Cook the beef:

    • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.

    • Brown the ground beef, breaking it apart.

    • Stir in taco seasoning and enchilada sauce.

    • Let simmer briefly, then remove from heat.

  3. Warm the tortillas:

    • Wrap them in a damp paper towel.

    • Microwave for 30–60 seconds until soft and bendable.

  4. Assemble the tacos:

    • Brush one side of each tortilla with olive oil.

    • Place tortilla on a baking sheet, oiled side down.

    • Add 2 tbsp cheese on half the tortilla → ¼ cup beef → 2 tbsp cheese.

    • Fold it closed.

  5. Bake:

    • Arrange tacos in a single layer.

    • Bake 16 minutes, or until crispy and golden.

  6. Cool & serve:

    • Rest for 3 minutes so the cheese sets slightly.

    • Serve with your favorite dips.

Notes

  • Warm tortillas well—if they crack, heat them more.

  • Toothpick trick: If a taco won’t stay folded, secure it with a toothpick (remove before eating).

  • Use a nonstick or ceramic pan to avoid sticking.

  • Extra crispy? Bake 2–3 minutes longer, but watch closely.
