Sprinkle shredded Colby Jack cheese over the mixture in the skillet. Place the skillet in an oven preheated to 400°F and bake for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

# Tips:
01 -
Consider substituting ground turkey or cubed chicken breast for the ground beef.

Yellow corn tortillas can be used as an alternative to white corn tortillas.

For additional flavor, a taco seasoning packet can replace the homemade seasoning blend.
04 -
Fry tortillas before adding them to the skillet for a crispier texture.
