Tacos crujientes de ternera: una receta para principiantes perfecta para las cenas entre semana

Ingredientes

• 1 pound ground beef (lean, 90%)
• 1 packet of taco seasoning
• 3/4 cup enchilada sauce
• 2.5 cups shredded Oaxaca cheese, Mexican cheese blend, or Monterey Jack
• 10 corn tortillas
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Optional toppings: guacamole, salsa, pickled onions, sour cream, hot sauce, lime wedges

Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 450°F. While the oven heats up, gather your ingredients and prep your workspace.

2. 2

   Cook the Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Once the beef is fully cooked, stir in the taco seasoning and enchilada sauce. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove the skillet from the heat.

3. 3

   Prepare the Tortillas: Wrap the corn tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 30-60 seconds. This step makes them pliable and easier to fold without cracking.

4. 4

   Assemble the Tacos: Brush one side of a tortilla with olive oil. Place it oiled-side down on a flat surface. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese on one half of the tortilla, add ¼ cup of the beef mixture on top, and finish with another 2 tablespoons of cheese. Fold the tortilla in half over the filling, pressing gently to seal.

5. 5

   Bake: Arrange the assembled tacos in a single layer on a nonstick or ceramic baking sheet. Bake for 16 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden and crispy and the cheese is melted.

6. 6

   Cool and Serve: Let the tacos cool for about 3 minutes before serving. This helps the fillings set and makes them easier to handle.
