Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Beef (450g)
- 1/2 Tbsp (8g) Olive Oil
- 1 (250g) White Onion, finely diced
- 5 cloves (25g) Garlic, minced
- 2 tsp (10 ml) Chili Powder
- 1 tsp (5 ml) Salt
- 1 tsp (5 ml) Oregano
- 1 tsp (5 ml) Cumin
- 1/2 tsp (3 ml) Black Pepper
- 1/2 C (120g) Tomato Sauce
- 4 oz (113 g) Shredded Cheese*
- 16 Extra Thin Corn Tortillas
Instructions
- Set your oven to 400ºF and coat a large baking tray with cooking spray.
- Warm the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, moving it to the edges, then place the ground beef in the middle. Cook one side of the beef until it browns, about 4-5 minutes, then turn it over to brown the other side for another 3-4 minutes. Mix the minced garlic with the onions while the beef cooks. Use a spatula to crumble the beef as it finishes cooking.
- Incorporate the dry spices and tomato sauce into the mixture, stirring well, before turning off the heat.
- Mix in the shredded cheese until it is evenly distributed, then set the mixture aside.
- Wrap the tortillas in a paper towel and heat in the microwave for 1 minute. Fill each tortilla with the beef mixture, rolling them tightly and placing them seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- After all 16 tortillas are rolled and on the baking sheet, spray them with cooking spray and bake for approximately 30 minutes until they are crispy and golden brown.
Notes
- Try using lean ground beef or turkey to reduce the fat content.
- Experiment with cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack cheese for extra flavor.
- Add diced green chilies or jalapeños for a spicy kick.
