- Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 7 minutes. Drain excess fat, then stir in chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant and evenly coated.1 lb ground beef, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, to taste salt and pepper
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange four tortilla shells on a baking sheet. Spread approximately 1/4 cup of tomato sauce evenly over each shell, leaving a small border around the edges.4 tortilla shells corn or flour tortillas, 1 cup tomato sauce
- Distribute the cooked beef evenly over the sauced tortillas, then sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the meat on each tortilla until covered.1 lb ground beef, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the tortillas are crispy. You should see golden brown spots on the cheese and edges.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Slice into wedges with a pizza cutter or sharp knife for serving, then garnish with optional toppings like chopped lettuce or jalapeños if desired.
Notes
For extra flavor, add chopped onions or cilantro before serving.
