Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes. Assemble the sheet pan up to 4 hours ahead, cover with plastic wrap, refrigerate, then bake when ready. Add 5–10 minutes to bake time if starting from cold.
What size sheet pan do I need?
A standard 18 × 13-inch half sheet pan works best for layering 10 large flour tortillas with even coverage.
Can I use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef?
Yes. Use the same amount (1 lb) of ground turkey or chicken, seasoned with the same taco seasoning packet. The bake time and texture will be similar.
How do I keep the tortillas from getting soggy?
Assemble just before baking and avoid over-saturating with nacho cheese or sour cream. Baking at 375°F until golden locks in crispness.
Can this be scaled for a smaller group?
Halve all ingredients and use a 9 × 13-inch baking dish instead. Reduce bake time by 5–10 minutes.
