Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef, lean (90%)
- 1 packet of taco seasoning
- 3/4 cup enchilada sauce
- 2 1/2 cups Oaxaca cheese (or Mexican cheese blend or Monterey Jack)
- 10 corn tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Toppings: hot sauce, guacamole, salsa, pickled onions, sour cream, lime wedges
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Brown Beef: Preheat oven to 450°F. Brown beef in a skillet over medium-high heat. Mix in taco seasoning and enchilada sauce. Bring to a simmer, then remove the pan from the heat.
- Warm Tortillas: Wrap corn tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30-60 seconds or until they are pliable.
- Assemble Tacos: Brush one side of a tortilla with olive oil. Flip it so the oiled side is on the pan. Add 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese to half of the tortilla, top with ¼ cup of ground beef, and 2 more tablespoons of shredded cheese. Fold the tortilla over the filling. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Bake: Arrange the tacos in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 16 minutes, or until the tortillas are crispy and the cheese has melted. Let them cool for 3 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Folding Tortillas: Make sure your tortillas are warm enough before filling and folding them. If they aren’t, they will not stay folded. If your tortillas refuse to remain folded, you can secure them with a toothpick.
- Baking Sheet: These are best when baked directly on a nonstick or ceramic sheet pan.
- Cheese: You can use your favorite type of cheese for these tacos.
- Toppings: Serve with your favorite taco toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or shredded lettuce.
