Crispy Ground Beef Tacos
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!
Servings 10 tacos
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef 90%
- 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 tbs olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450F.
- 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.
- Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30–60 seconds until pliable.
- 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 ¼ cup of beef, then add 2 more tablespoons of cheese. Fold the tortilla over the filling.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and range the tacos in a single layer on your baking sheet.
- Bake for 16 minutes, or until tortillas are crispy and cheese is melted. Let tacos cool for 3 minutes before serving.
Notes
Warm Tortillas: Make sure tortillas are warm before folding. If they crack or won’t stay folded, secure them with a toothpick.
Best Pan Choice: Bake directly on a nonstick or ceramic sheet pan. Avoid foil, as the tortillas may stick to it.
