Step #4: Once the water has evaporated, add in 1 cup of cheddar cheese and stir until everything has combined.

Step #5: Doing 8 at a time, wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave them for a minute, flipping them halfway through.

Step #6: Then place a tortilla on your prepared baking sheet, spoon ⅛-¼ cup of the beef filling to one half of the tortilla and sprinkle on a little of the remaining cheddar cheese. Do not fill them too much or they will ooze out the sides.

Step #7: Fold the tortilla more than halfway over as it will peel back slightly while baking in the oven. Then lightly brush the top of the tortilla with olive oil. Repeat until one baking sheet is full.

Step #8: Bake the assembled tacos in the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Step #9: Finally, serve with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

I love winter time as it moves into spring because that’s when you get spring fruits and vegetables such as Blood Oranges. I love blood oranges and their unique flavor.

How to Make a Blood Orange Margarita

Step #1: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.

Step #4: Pour into your favorite cocktail glass with ice and enjoy!

Expert Tips

Choosing your Blood Oranges – Any blood orange you use will have that classic taste. But note that if the Blood orange is more orange in color the juice will be lighter and you will also get more juice out of the blood orange. If the outside of the orange is more of a darker red color the juice will be darker as well. But there will likely be less juice in these oranges.

Strain Your Blood Orange Juice – If you are using fresh blood oranges to get your juice, be sure to strain it before adding it into your cocktail shaker to remove any pulp or seeds that might come out.

Sweetener – If you don’t have simple syrup on hand you can also use an ounce of agave nectar as a substitute in this recipe.
