Full Recipe:

Ingredients 

• 1 lb (450g) lean ground beef (90% lean)

• 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade)

• ¾ cup red enchilada sauce

• 2½ cups shredded Oaxaca cheese (or Monterey Jack, Cheddar, or Mexican blend)

• 10 corn tortillas

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 450°F (232°C).

2. Cook Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once browned, stir in the taco seasoning and enchilada sauce. Simmer for a few minutes, then remove from heat.

3. Prepare Tortillas: Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30–60 seconds until pliable. Brush one side of each tortilla with olive oil.

4. Assemble Tacos: Place each tortilla, oiled-side down, on a baking sheet. On one half of each tortilla, layer 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese, followed by ¼ cup of the beef mixture, and then 2 more tablespoons of cheese. Fold the tortilla over to enclose the filling.

5. Bake: Arrange the assembled tacos in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 16 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden and crispy.

6. Serve: Allow the tacos to cool for 3 minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dips and toppings!
