Tips
- Don’t overfill the tortillas to ensure they close easily and get crispy.
- Sprinkle cheese on top of the folded tortillas for an extra golden, crispy layer and to help keep them sealed.
- Bake at a high temperature (425°F/220°C) for golden and crunchy tortillas with perfectly melted cheese.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking tray; leave space between tacos for even crisping.
- Lightly brush tortillas with olive oil to help them turn crispy and golden.
