Ingredients

4 cups taco meat
4 cups grated cheese
12 small flour or corn tortillas
oil for spraying/brushing

Toppings (optional)

lettuce
guacamole
pico de gallo
salsa
fresh cilantro/coriander
sliced jalapeños

Instructions

Set it to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking dish with foil or parchment for easy cleanup.
If using pre-made taco meat from the freezer, defrost and warm in a pan. If cooking from scratch, follow directions.
Place a small handful of cheese onto the bottom half of each tortilla. Spoon the taco meat on top of the cheese. Fold over and press down so the tortillas stay folded.
Place the tortillas onto the baking sheet.
Brush or spray with oil then place the tray in the oven and bake for 7 to 10 minutes until the tortillas are golden brown and starting to crisp then flip over and bake for another 7-10 minutes until the cheese is completely melted.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 1 to 2 minutes (the cheese is lava-hot straight from the oven).
Add cold toppings: lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
