Ingredients
1 pound lean ground beef (90%)
1 packet of taco seasoning
¾ cup red enchilada sauce
2 ½ cups Oaxaca cheese, Mexican cheese, or Monterey Jack cheese
10 corn tortillas
1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 450°F.
-
In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once browned, stir in taco seasoning and red enchilada sauce. Let it simmer for a few minutes, then remove from heat.
-
Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave them 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 ¼ cup of beef, then add 2 more tablespoons of cheese. Fold the tortilla over the filling to create a taco shape.
-
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet.
-
Bake the tacos for 16 minutes or until the tortillas are crispy and the cheese has melted.
-
Let the tacos cool for 3 minutes before serving.
Notes
-
Customize your tacos with additional fillings like sautéed vegetables or fresh chilies for added flavor.
-
To make them gluten-free, opt for gluten-free corn tortillas and ensure your taco seasoning is gluten-free.

For extra crunch, bake the tacos in a single layer on the baking sheet.
