You can make the taco meat ahead (up to 3 days in the fridge). When you’re ready, assemble and bake fresh so the tortillas get crispy.

How do I store and reheat leftovers?

Store leftover tacos in an airtight container in the fridge for 2–3 days . Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 375°F until crisp again. (Microwave works, but you’ll lose the crunch—still tasty, just softer.)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with chopped onion. Season with salt and pepper.
Drain excess fat, then stir in taco seasoning and salsa. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Lightly brush or spray both sides of the tortillas with olive oil and place them on the baking sheet.
Add about ¼ cup taco meat and 1 tablespoon cheese to each tortilla. Fold in half.
Bake for 10 minutes, then carefully flip the tacos.
Bake for another 5–10 minutes, or until crispy and golden. Add extra cheese on top after flipping if desired.
Serve warm with your favorite taco toppings.

Notes

Don’t overfill the tortillas or they’ll be harder to flip.

Warm tortillas briefly before filling if they crack easily.

These reheat best in the oven or air fryer to keep them crispy.
