Instructions

1
In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess grease.
2
Add the taco seasoning mix and water to the skillet with the beef. Stir to combine and let it simmer until the liquid has been absorbed.

Spray the tortillas with avocado oil spray. Air fry at 400°F for 2-3 minutes or until golden and crispy.
4
Place one crispy tortilla on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
5
Top the tortilla with the seasoned ground beef and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
6
Place the second crispy tortilla on top and press down gently.
7
Spread the enchilada sauce evenly over the top tortilla.
8
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the sauce.
9
Bake in an oven preheated to 375°F for 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
10
Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped green onions.
11
Slice into four wedges and serve immediately.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Crisp the tortillas solo first at 400°F before topping to prevent sogginess from the beef and sauce.
Brown ground beef over medium-high heat until deeply caramelized, then stir in taco seasoning—this builds flavor foundation.
Sprinkle half the cheese before the sauce, then the remaining half on top; this anchors toppings and ensures melted coverage.
Add green onions after baking so they stay fresh and bright—wilted onions muddy the flavor.

Substitutions

Ground beef → ground turkey or lean ground pork (adjust seasoning salt if pork is less salty)
Enchilada sauce → salsa verde or red salsa (use same amount)
Low-carb tortillas → regular flour tortillas (adds ~15g carbs per serving)
Mexican cheese blend → cotija or queso fresco (skip melting step, crumble on top for texture)

Storage & make-ahead

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat in a 350°F oven for 8–10 minutes to restore tortilla crispness.

Common Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?

Cook the beef mixture and assemble just before serving to keep tortillas crispy. Store cooked beef in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat gently.
