1 pound lean ground beef (90%)

1 packet taco seasoning

¾ cup red enchilada sauce
→ Taco Assembly
04 -
2 ½ cups Oaxaca cheese (or Mexican cheese or Monterey Jack)
05 -
10 corn tortillas
06 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
02 -
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.
03 -
Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30–60 seconds until pliable.
04 -
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.

Arrange the tacos in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 16 minutes, or until the tortillas are crispy and the cheese is melted.
06 -
Let the tacos cool for 3 minutes before serving. Serve with salsa, queso, or guacamole for dipping.
# Notes:
01 -
Warm tortillas before folding to prevent cracking. Use a toothpick to secure them if needed.
02 -
Bake directly on a nonstick or ceramic sheet pan. Avoid foil, as the tortillas may stick.
