 Full Recipe:

 Ingredients

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

• 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade)

• ¾ cup (180 ml) red enchilada sauce

• 2½ cups (250 g) shredded Oaxaca cheese (or Monterey Jack, Cheddar, or Mexican blend)

• 10 corn tortillas

• 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil (or avocado/vegetable 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. 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 the oiled side of each tortilla down on a baking sheet. Add 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese to half of each tortilla, followed by ¼ cup of the beef mixture, and then another 2 tablespoons of cheese. Fold the tortilla over to form a taco.

5. Bake: Arrange the filled tacos on the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 16 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden and crispy. Let them cool for 3 minutes before serving.
