Cook the tacos: Heat a large frying pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Place the tacos meat-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes, pressing lightly so the meat browns and crisps. Flip the tacos so the tortilla side is down. Place a slice of cheese on the meat, cover the pan, and cook for 1 minute, until the cheese melts and the tortilla is lightly toasted. Repeat with remaining tacos.
