Baked Tacos
Report
Baked tacos are a delicious twist on traditional beef tacos, with a crispy shell and a filling packed with seasoned ground beef and melty cheese. Baking the tacos in the oven adds an extra layer of flavor and texture that will have your taste buds singing.

Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 3 tablespoon taco seasoning
- ½ cup water
- 12 hard taco shells
- 8 ounces shredded Mexican cheese divided
Instructions
- Place the ground beef in a skillet on the stove top. Cook on medium heat, and break up the beef into bite-size pieces. Once the beef is cooked (about 5 minutes), sprinkle the taco seasoning on top of the beef. Add the water to the skillet and mix well. Simmer on low for 5 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place taco shells in a large baking dish. Add in 1-2 tablespoons of ground beef to each shell then sprinkle the grated cheese on top of the tacos. Bake the tacos for 8-10 minutes until shells are golden in color and cheese is melted.
- Carefully, remove from the oven, serve immediately, and top with your favorite toppings like shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, sour cream, and guacamole!
Notes
- Soggy - To prevent your baked tacos from getting soggy, try placing a layer of cheese on the bottom of the shell before adding the filling. The cheese will melt and create a barrier between the filling and the shell, keeping it crispy.
- Soft Taco Shells - If you're using soft taco shells for baked tacos, try lightly brushing them with oil before filling them. This will help them crisp up in the oven.
- Fillings - Experiment with different fillings! Baked tacos are a great way to use up leftover ingredients in your fridge. Try filling them with leftover chicken, steak, or veggies.
- Overfill - Don't overfill your tacos! The filling will expand in the oven, so be sure to leave a little room at the top of the shell.
- Toppings - Top your baked tacos with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and even a side of guacamole or salsa for dipping. It's the perfect way to take your taco game to the next level.
