Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once heated, add the onion and garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 7-8 minutes.
Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the spices are well incorporated. Remove the skillet from the heat.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it is evenly mixed with the beef mixture.
Place a gluten-free tortilla on a clean surface and add approximately 1/4 cup of the beef and cheese mixture onto the center.
Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place it seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Brush the tops of each crispito with the remaining olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve the crispitos with sour cream and salsa on the side if desired.
