Description
Delicious baked tacos filled with seasoned ground beef and melted cheese, offering a perfect contrast between a crunchy shell and a gooey interior.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- 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 1/4 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
Serve with lime wedges and a cabbage slaw for added brightness. Leftovers can be repurposed into scrambled eggs or nachos.
