Ingredients
Scale
For the Tacos
- 6 6-inch tortillas
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 1–2 Tablespoons taco seasoning, or more to taste
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Olive oil, for spraying or brushing tortillas
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Cook Ground Beef: In a medium-sized skillet over medium heat, brown 1 pound of ground beef along with 1/2 cup chopped onion until the beef is fully cooked and the onions are softened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Season Beef: Drain the fat from the cooked beef mixture. Stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning and 1/4 cup salsa. Adjust seasoning according to your preference.
- Oil Tortillas: Lightly spray or brush both sides of each of the six tortillas with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Fill Tortillas: Place about 1/4 cup of the seasoned taco meat on one half of each tortilla. Top each with approximately 1 tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese if desired. Fold the tortillas in half to form taco shapes.
- Bake Tacos: Bake the folded tacos in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, carefully flip the tacos using a spatula and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, or until the tortillas are crispy and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your crispy and flavorful sheet pan tacos!
Notes
- Use 6-inch tortillas for the best taco size. Corn or flour tortillas both work well.
- You can adjust the amount of taco seasoning based on your taste preferences.
- Feel free to add toppings such as sour cream, diced tomatoes, lettuce, or avocado after baking.
- Spraying or brushing olive oil on both sides of the tortillas ensures crispiness when baked.
- If you want extra crispy tacos, bake a few minutes longer after flipping—but watch closely to avoid burning.
