Description
Minimal dishes, maximum flavor, and all the cheesy satisfaction of Tex-Mex comfort food baked to golden perfection.
Ingredients
8 large flour tortillas
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 lb ground beef
1 cup diced onion
1 can black beans, drained
1 packet taco seasoning
Cooking spray or oil for brushing
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F and grab a rimmed sheet pan.
2. Cook ground beef and onion in a skillet over medium heat. Add taco seasoning and stir well.
3. Overlap 6 tortillas around sheet pan edges, half hanging over. Place one in center to cover bottom.
4. Spread beans, beef mixture, and cheese evenly over tortillas.
5. Fold tortillas inward; top with another tortilla if needed. Brush top with oil.
6. Place another sheet pan on top, press gently, and bake for 18–20 minutes.
7. Remove top pan and broil for 1–2 minutes for extra crispiness.
8. Cool slightly, slice, and serve with favorite dips.
Notes
Swap ground beef with chicken, turkey, or beans for different flavors.
Add jalapeños, chipotle sauce, or roasted veggies for extra zing.
Let rest on wire rack post-bake to avoid soggy bottoms.
Great for make-ahead: assemble and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking.
