Description
Crispy and cheesy ground beef tacos baked to perfection with a simple yet flavorful blend of ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef (90%)
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- ¾ cup red enchilada sauce
- 2 ½ cups Oaxaca cheese (or Mexican cheese or Monterey Jack)
- 10 corn tortillas
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- 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 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 ¼ cup of beef, then add 2 more tablespoons of cheese. Fold the tortilla over the filling.
- 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
- For best results, use freshly grated cheese as it melts better than pre-shredded cheese.
- Serve with your favorite toppings such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or chopped cilantro.
- If you prefer spicier tacos, use a spicy taco seasoning or add chopped jalapeños.
