Fast and flavorful tacos with crispy shells, seasoned beef, and cheesy goodness. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy in just 35 minutes.
# What You'll Need:
01 -
10 corn tortillas, fresh and soft.
02 -
1 and 1/4 cups red enchilada sauce.
03 -
A pound of ground beef, 90% lean or higher.
04 -
2 cups shredded cheese, Oaxaca or Monterey Jack works great.
05 -
1 taco seasoning packet.
06 -
1 tablespoon olive oil to brush on tortillas.
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Crank the oven up to 450°F and wait until it's fully preheated.
02 -
Brown the ground beef in a skillet. Add the taco seasoning and pour in the enchilada sauce. Stir it up, simmer, and pull it off the heat.
03 -
Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave them for about a minute to soften.
04 -
Brush one side of the tortillas with olive oil. Lay them oil-side down, pile on the cheese, scoop the seasoned beef, top with more cheese, and fold in half.
05 -
Arrange the tacos on a baking tray, making sure none are touching. Pop them in the oven for 16 minutes or until golden and crisp.
06 -
Give the tacos a minute or two to sit before you bite in. It'll make the outside extra crispy!
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Nonstick trays work better since foil might cause tortillas to tear.
02 -
Warm tortillas are easier to fold without cracking.
