Weights are estimates. Together, the ingredients weigh about 750 g before cooking, which is about 190 g per serving.
Steps
Preheat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until completely cooked and no longer pink. Remove excess fat if necessary and let it cool slightly.
Place the cooked meat in a bowl. Add the cream cheese, Manchego cheese, and oregano, and mix until combined. The filling should hold together but not be liquid.
Place a portion of the filling on one side of each flour tortilla, leaving a free edge so it can be closed.
Fold each tortilla over the filling and close it to form a triangle. Press the edges firmly to seal them; if they do not adhere, moisten them lightly with water.
Arrange the triangles on the baking sheet, leaving a little space between them. Place the sealed edge facing down to help keep them closed.
Brush the surface of each triangle with the beaten egg.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds and a little more oregano over the triangles.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the tortillas are golden and crisp and the filling cheese is thoroughly heated.
Let the triangles rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve them with your favorite sauce.
Notes
The publication does not provide quantities, temperature, cooking method, or detailed instructions; those parts were estimated to turn the ingredient list into a reproducible recipe. They can also be prepared in an air fryer until the tortilla is golden and crisp.
