# Instructions:
01 -
Set the oven temperature to 450°F (230°C) and let it heat up.
02 -
Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add taco seasoning and enchilada sauce, stir well, let it cook a little longer, then turn off the heat.
03 -
Dampen a paper towel, wrap the tortillas in it, and heat them for 30 to 60 seconds in the microwave until they’re soft.
04 -
Spread olive oil on one side of each tortilla. Lay them out, oil side down, and layer 2 tablespoons of cheese, 1/4 cup of the beef mixture, and another 2 tablespoons of cheese on one half. Fold the tortilla to form a semi-circle.
05 -
Place the folded tacos in a single layer on a baking tray. Bake for about 16 minutes until they’re crisp and golden brown.
06 -
Wait for 3 minutes for the tacos to cool slightly, then serve with your favorite toppings.
# Notes:
01 -
Heat tortillas properly to make them easy to fold without tearing.
02 -
A ceramic or nonstick baking tray works best to avoid having the tacos stick.
03 -
If it helps, you can hold the folded tacos in place with toothpicks while they bake.
