For the Tacos
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning, store-bought or homemade taco seasoning
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2¼ cups shredded Mexican-blend cheese
- 12 corn tortillas
- Olive oil, for brushing each tortilla (approx. ½ teaspoon per tortilla)
Optional Garnish
- Fresh chopped tomatoes
- Fresh chopped white onion
- Fresh chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (or 375°F if your oven typically runs hot).*
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet for 10-15 minutes, until the moisture has evaporated off of the meat. Once cooked through, add the taco seasoning and lime juice and stir.
- Wrap the tortillas in a towel and microwave on high for 60 seconds. Then, lay the tortillas out on a sheet pan and spray or brush 1 side of the tortillas with olive oil. Flip the tortillas so the olive oil side is down.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of cheese on half of each tortilla. Top the cheese with 2 tablespoons of the ground chicken mixture.
- Add another tablespoon of cheese on top of the ground chicken mixture.
- Place the tacos in the oven (open) to bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then pull the tacos out, fold them over, and put them back in the oven to finish baking for 15 minutes.
- Garnish the tacos with chopped onion, tomato, and cilantro, and serve alongside with ranch/salsa/guacamole dipping sauce. Enjoy!
