1/2 cup water
04 -
1/4 cup melted butter or vegetable oil for brushing
05 -
1/2 cup finely diced onion
06 -
2 minced garlic cloves
07 -
1 packet of taco seasoning mix
08 -

Sour cream to serve
11 -
Salsa on the side for serving

# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking sheet lightly or line it with parchment paper.
02 -
Cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat in a large skillet. Stir until the meat is fully browned and cooked through, then drain the fat.
03 -
Add the water and taco seasoning to the meat. Give it a good stir and let it cook for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened. Turn off the heat and allow it to cool down a bit.
04 -
Combine the browned beef with the shredded Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses.
05 -
Warm up the tortillas slightly so they're easier to roll.
06 -
Spoon about 1/2 cup of the beef-cheese combo into the middle of each tortilla. Fold the edges in, then roll them up snugly like a burrito.
07 -
Place the rolled-up tortillas on the baking sheet with the seam side facing down. Generously coat them with vegetable oil or melted butter using a brush.
08 -
Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes. Flip them over halfway so they become golden and crispy all around.
09 -
Serve immediately while hot. Add sour cream, salsa, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro on the side.
