Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
  
  

• 1 packet of taco seasoning
  
  

• ¾ cup red enchilada sauce
  
  

• 2 ½ cups Oaxaca cheese or Mexican cheese or Monterey Jack
  
  

• 10 corn tortillas
  
  

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
  
  

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
   
   

2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Stir in taco seasoning and red enchilada sauce. Bring to a simmer, then remove from heat.
   
   

3. Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30-60 seconds until pliable.
   
   

4. Brush one side of each tortilla with olive oil. Place tortillas on a baking sheet, oiled side down.
   
   

5. Add 2 tablespoons of cheese to half of each tortilla, top with ¼ cup of beef, and then add 2 more tablespoons of cheese. Fold the tortillas over the filling.
   
   

6. Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas and arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet.
   
   

7. Bake for 16 minutes, or until tortillas are crispy and cheese is melted.
   
   

8. Let the tacos cool for 3 minutes before serving.
