Notes

Tips for success: Keep the heat at medium to avoid burning the tortillas while achieving a crispy texture. For extra flavor, try seasoning the beef with garlic powder or onion powder. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days; reheat in a skillet for best results. Experiment with different cheese types for varied flavors.
