Crispy Beef Tacos (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
90% lean ground beef, 1 pound.
02 -
Store-bought taco seasoning, 1 packet.
03 -
Red enchilada sauce, 3/4 cup.
04 -
Fresh Oaxaca or Monterey Jack cheese, 2 1/2 cups shredded.
05 -
Yellow corn tortillas, 10 pieces.
06 -
Olive oil for brushing, 1 tablespoon.
07 -
Fresh guacamole for serving.
08 -
Your favorite salsa for serving.
09 -
Tangy pickled onions for topping.
10 -
Cold sour cream for garnish.
11 -
Fresh lime wedges for squeezing.
# Instructions:
01 -
Start by getting your oven nice and hot at 450°F.
02 -
Cook the ground beef in a big pan until no pink remains. Stir in your taco seasoning and enchilada sauce until everything's bubbling nicely.
03 -
Get your tortillas ready by warming them between damp paper towels in the microwave - this makes them bendy and easy to fold.
04 -
Brush each tortilla with oil on one side, flip it over, then layer in cheese, seasoned beef, and more cheese on half the tortilla. Fold it over like a half moon.
05 -
Place your filled tacos on a baking sheet, making sure they're not touching each other.
06 -
Slide them into the hot oven and bake until they're golden and crispy, about 16 minutes.
07 -
Let them cool for a few minutes before diving in - they're super hot inside.
# Notes:
01 -
Skip the foil and bake directly on a nonstick or ceramic pan to prevent sticking.
02 -
If tortillas won't stay folded, secure them with toothpicks while baking.
