Easy Oven-Baked Taco Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 can pinto beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 box hard taco shells with a flat bottom
  • 1 bag shredded cheese
  • shredded lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, pickled onion, etc.

Instructions

  • Add one pound of ground beef and one can of drained, rinsed pinto beans to a large skillet.
  • Break apart the meat and smash the beans until the meat is fully cooked.
  • Add one packet of taco seasoning, then stir to combine.
  • Line up the crunchy taco shells in a baking dish. (I like to buy the taco shells with a flat bottom, which are easier to stand up in the dish!)
  • Sprinkle the tacos with cheese, then spoon in the meat mixture. Top with more cheese.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes.
  • Add your toppings of choice. We like tomatoes, shredded lettuce, avocado, pickled onions, sour cream, salsa, etc.
