Make crispy beef tacos fast! They're full of savory beef, gooey cheese, and fresh toppings. Done in 35 minutes—ideal for family meals.
# What You'll Need:
01 -
10 corn tortillas, fresh and soft.
02 -
1 tablespoon olive oil, for brushing on the tortillas.
03 -
2 1/2 cups of shredded Monterey Jack or Oaxaca cheese.
04 -
3/4 cup of red enchilada sauce.
05 -
1 packet of seasoning made for tacos.
06 -
1 pound of ground beef that's 90% lean.
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Turn on your oven to 450°F and wait until it's fully heated.
02 -
Cook the ground beef in a skillet until it's nicely browned. Add the taco seasoning and the enchilada sauce, stir it, then let it simmer briefly before setting it aside.
03 -
Dampen a paper towel, wrap the tortillas in it, and microwave for about 60 seconds to get them pliable.
04 -
Brush one side of each tortilla with oil. Place the oiled side down, sprinkle a layer of cheese, add the seasoned beef, and top with more cheese. Fold each tortilla in half over the filling.
05 -
Arrange the stuffed tortillas on a baking sheet without overlapping them. Bake for 16 minutes or until they turn crunchy.
06 -
After baking, let them cool on the sheet for a few minutes. This makes them even crispier. Serve and enjoy!
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Avoid foil; tortillas can stick to it. Use nonstick cookware.
02 -
Heat tortillas enough so you can fold them easily without tearing.
