Full Recipe:

Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)

• 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade blend)

• ¾ cup red enchilada sauce

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

• 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. Stir in the taco seasoning and red enchilada sauce. Simmer for a few minutes, then remove from heat.

3. Prepare Tortillas: Wrap the corn tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30–60 seconds until pliable.

4. Assemble Tacos: Brush one side of each tortilla with olive oil. Place the oiled side down on a baking sheet. Add 2 tablespoons of cheese to half of each tortilla, top with ¼ cup of the beef mixture, then add 2 more tablespoons of cheese. Fold the tortilla over 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 crispy and the cheese is melted.

6. Serve: Let the tacos cool for 3 minutes before serving.
