Share:
Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 onion diced
- ½ cup green bell pepper diced
- ½ cup red bell pepper diced
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 red beans rinsed and drained, canned
- 8 oz. tomato sauce
- 4.5 oz. diced green chiles Old El Paso brand
- 24 taco shells hard shell
- 2 cups Mexican cheese divided, shredded
Taco Toppings
- lettuce shredded
- olives sliced
- guacamole
- salsa
- tomato
- sour cream
Instructions
- In a large skillet begin to brown the ground beef, breaking it up into bite-size pieces. Add in the diced onion and bell pepper. Cook until the beef is brown and no longer pink (about 10 minutes on medium-high heat).
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add the rinsed and drained red beans to the skillet, tomato sauce, diced green chiles and taco seasoning. Mix well and cook on low for 5 minutes.
- While the taco meat is simmering begin to heat up the taco shells. Unwrap taco shells, place on a cook sheet pulling apart the taco shells slightly.
- Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes until crisp and golden brown.
- Once taco shells are done carefully scoop in taco meat and top with a generous portion of Mexican cheese. Eat as is or enjoy with additional toppings like shredded lettuce, salsa, slice olives and/or guacamole.
Notes
- Make Ahead - You can make the meat mixture ahead of time. Then once you are ready to serve the tacos simply reheat the meat mixture and bake the tacos.
- Toppings - The sky is the limit when you are talking about toppings on a taco. Lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, olives, etc.
