Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a skillet over medium heat and add the oil. Once hot, add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper; cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
While the beef cooks, arrange tortillas on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven for about 3-4 minutes until edges are golden and crispy. Remove from oven and set aside.
Spread a layer of seasoned beef evenly over each toasted tortilla. Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the beef, covering all surfaces evenly.
1/2 pound ground beef, 1 cup shredded cheese
Place the topped tortillas back in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling, and the edges of the tortillas are crisp.
Remove from oven and top with optional salsa or other desired toppings. Slice into wedges and serve immediately, showcasing the gooey cheese and crispy crust.
