Description

A straightforward recipe for making crispy baked tacos.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 12 hard taco shells
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/4 cup salsa

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain any excess grease.
  3. Stir in the taco seasoning mix and water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Arrange the hard taco shells open-side up on a baking sheet.
  5. Spoon the cooked meat mixture evenly into each taco shell.
  6. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the shells are heated through and slightly crispier.
  7. Remove from the oven. Top each taco with shredded cheese, lettuce, and salsa.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef.
  • Bake the shells plain for 5 minutes before adding the filling if you prefer extra crispiness.
