Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil and more for tortillas
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 24 4 inch corn or flour tortillas
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Be sure to break up the meat into small pieces. Drain excess fat.
- Add the taco seasoning and tomato sauce. Stir to combine and cook over medium-low heat until sauce has absorbed into the meat, about 3-5 minutes.
- Lay out warmed tortillas across the baking sheets. Brush or spray both sides with olive oil. Add a generous amount of cheese to each of the tortilla and top with beef mixture.
- Bake for 2 minutes. Remove from oven and carefully fold tacos in half. Press gently. If they keep opening up, you can take a second baking sheet and place it on top of the baking sheet with the tacos.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the exterior of the tortillas browns and gets crispy.
- Enjoy immediately with desired toppings.
Notes
- To make the tortillas more pliable, wrap in a damp paper towel (6-8 at a time) on a plate and microwave them for 30 seconds.
- To keep your mini tacos closed while they bake, put another baking sheet on top so that the cheese can melt as the tacos get nice and crispy.
- If it's too difficult to eat for little hands, you can serve deconstructed with warmed tortilla so they can build their own soft mini tacos.
