Description
These Crispy Ground Beef Tacos are an easy weeknight win. They only take 35 minutes to make, and everyone will love dipping them in salsa, queso, or guacamole!
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef (90%)
- 1 packet of taco seasoning
- 3/4 cup red enchilada sauce
- 2 1/2 cups Oaxaca cheese, Mexican cheese, or Monterey Jack
- 10 corn tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Stir in the taco seasoning and enchilada sauce. Bring to a simmer, then remove from heat.
3. Wrap 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 the tortilla on a baking sheet, oiled side down. Add 2 tablespoons of cheese to half of the tortilla, top with 1/4 cup of beef, then add 2 more tablespoons of cheese. Fold the tortilla over the filling.
5. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and arrange the tacos in a single layer on your baking sheet.
6. Bake for 16 minutes, or until tortillas are crispy and cheese is melted. Let tacos cool for 3 minutes before serving.
Notes
Warm tortillas before folding to prevent cracking. Use a damp paper towel and microwave briefly.
If tortillas won’t stay folded, secure with a toothpick.
For best results, bake directly on a nonstick or ceramic sheet pan. Avoid foil, which may cause sticking.
