# Ingredients:
→ Main
01 -
450 grams lean ground beef
02 -
28 grams taco seasoning blend
03 -
240 millilitres salsa
04 -
8 15-centimeter corn tortillas
05 -
110 grams shredded sharp cheddar cheese
→ Toppings
06 -
Shredded lettuce
07 -
Diced tomatoes
08 -
Sour cream
09 -
Sliced black olives
# Steps:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
02 -
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook and crumble the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat and return beef to skillet.
03 -
Stir in taco seasoning and salsa, mixing thoroughly to combine. Cook for 2–3 minutes until warmed through.
04 -
Microwave corn tortillas for 20–30 seconds to soften. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
05 -
Place approximately 60 millilitres of beef filling on one half of each tortilla. Sprinkle evenly with shredded cheddar. Fold tortillas gently over the filling to form tacos.
06 -
Lightly spray the folded tacos with avocado oil spray or cooking oil spray. Bake for 10–12 minutes until tacos are golden and crisp at the edges.
07 -
Let tacos cool several minutes. Carefully open each taco and top with lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, and olives as desired. Serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to three days.
02 -
For freezing, individually wrap tacos and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months.
03 -
To reheat and retain crispness, bake at 190°C for 10–15 minutes or air fry at 175°C for 5–7 minutes.
04 -
Microwave reheating is quicker but may result in softer, less crisp tacos.
