These baked tacos are a fast and budget-friendly way to enjoy a crispy, cheesy meal with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 taco seasoning packet
  • 10 taco shells
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1 can refried beans (optional)
  • Toppings: diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sour cream, avocado, jalapeños

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium. Add the ground beef and cook until no pink remains, about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Drain excess fat, return skillet to medium-low heat, and stir in taco seasoning with a splash of water; let simmer.
  4. If using, warm refried beans in a small pot or microwave.
  5. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of seasoned beef into each taco shell; add beans if using.
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheese, arrange tacos in a baking dish, and top with more cheese.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and shells are crisp.
  8. Top with diced tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, avocado, and jalapeños before serving.

Notes

Keep taco filling portions modest to maintain shell shape. Brush shells with oil for extra crispness if desired.
