Description

Delicious crispy ground beef tacos filled with seasoned meat and melted cheese, perfect for family gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef (90%)
  • 1 packet of taco seasoning
  • 3/4 cup red enchilada sauce
  • 2 1/2 cups Oaxaca cheese or Mexican cheese or Monterey Jack
  • 10 corn tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks.
  3. Stir in the taco seasoning and red enchilada sauce. Bring to a simmer, then remove from heat.
  4. Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30–60 seconds until pliable.
  5. Brush one side of each tortilla with olive oil. Place the tortilla on a baking sheet, oiled side down.
  6. 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.
  7. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and arrange the tacos in a single layer on your baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 16 minutes, or until tortillas are crispy and cheese is melted. Let tacos cool for 3 minutes before serving.

Notes

Choose high-quality lean ground beef for the best flavor. Tailor the seasoning to your spice preference and don’t overstuff the tacos.
