1
Prepare the Filling
If using ground beef or turkey, cook it in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart as it cooks. Add taco seasoning and mix well. Cook according to the package instructions, usually about 5-7 minutes, until fully cooked.
2
Assemble the Tacos
Warm the soft taco tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side. Once warmed, place a small amount of cooked meat (if using) in the center of each tortilla. Add shredded lettuce and top with shredded cheddar cheese.
3
Serve
Fold the tortillas in half and serve immediately, allowing kids to customize their tacos with additional toppings if desired.

4
Prepare the Enchiladas
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Lightly fry each corn tortilla for about 10 seconds on each side until they are pliable, then set them aside.
5
Assemble the Enchiladas
Take one tortilla and place a generous amount of shredded cheese (about 1/4 cup) in the center. Roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat this for all tortillas.
6
Add Sauce and Cheese
Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top.
7
Bake
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8
Serve
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Cut into pieces and enjoy with the soft tacos!
