# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 450°F (230°C) and let it warm up.
02 -
In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the beef until fully cooked. Add the taco seasoning and pour in the enchilada sauce. Let it simmer briefly, then take it off the heat.
03 -
Take a stack of corn tortillas, cover them in a damp paper towel, and microwave for 30–60 seconds so they're flexible.
04 -
Lightly coat one side of each tortilla with olive oil. Place them oiled-side down. On half of the tortilla, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of cheese, add ¼ cup of the beef mix, and top it with an additional 2 tablespoons of cheese. Then fold it to make a half-circle.
05 -
Put the folded tacos in a single layer onto your baking sheet. Bake them for around 16 minutes until they turn crispy and golden-brown.
06 -
Take them out and let them cool for 3 minutes. Top them with whatever you like and enjoy!
# Notes:
01 -
Heat the tortillas properly, so they fold easily without crumbling.
02 -
Try using a nonstick or ceramic tray to avoid sticking issues.
03 -
If tacos won’t stay folded, use toothpicks to keep them in shape while baking.
