Bake for about 20 minutes at 450 degrees, until the meat is brown and crispy.

Tips:
A Pressure Cooker really helps here. If you like making dishes like this one often you should consider the pressure cooker. It will cut cooking time to half hour.
Heating tortillas in a microwave:
To heat tortillas you can wrap them in a kitchen towel and put them inside a container. Microwave 15 seconds per tortilla.
