Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground beef (I used 85/15)

Instructions

Method by funmoneymom.com. Cook it from their page if you can, so the people who developed and tested it get the visit.

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned.
3. Season the meat by stirring in the water and taco seasoning. Let it simmer for another 5-7 minutes until the liquid reduces and the flavors soak in. Turn off the heat.
4. Brush the tortillas lightly with oil, then place them oil-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Melt the cheese by sprinkling 1-2 tablespoons of shredded Oaxaca cheese on each tortilla. Bake for 6-8 minutes until the cheese is fully melted. (This helps crisp the tortillas before adding the beef, preventing them from being soggy.)
6. Assemble the tacos by spooning 1-2 tablespoons of taco meat onto each tortilla.
7. Fold them in half and press gently to seal. If needed, place another baking sheet on top to hold them down while baking.
8. Bake again for 10-12 minutes until the tortillas are golden and crispy, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.
9. Garnish and serve with fresh cilantro and your favorite toppings like pico de gallo, avocado crema, or jalapeños. Enjoy!
