Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I preheat my oven to 400°F (200°C). While that’s warming up, I heat a skillet over medium-high heat to cook the ground beef with the taco seasoning until it’s perfectly browned. I love the aroma that wafts through my kitchen at this point; it brings back so many memories. Once the meat is ready, I set it aside and get to work on the tortillas. In the same skillet, I quickly fry two of the corn tortillas until they become golden and crispy. Just a couple of minutes on each side does the trick! This step is crucial for that famous crunch.
