Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Crispy Baked Beef Tacos
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and prepare your baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the lean ground beef for 5-7 minutes until browned. Stir in taco seasoning and red enchilada sauce, simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Wrap corn tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30-60 seconds to make them pliable.
  4. Brush one side of each tortilla lightly with olive oil and arrange them oiled-side down on the baking sheet.
  5. Spoon beef mixture onto one side of each tortilla and sprinkle with Oaxaca cheese. Fold tortillas over and secure with toothpicks if necessary.
  6. Bake the filled tacos in the oven for about 16 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Allow tacos to cool for 3 minutes before serving with your favorite sides.
