Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds ground beef chicken, or black beans, seasoned and cooked
  • 1 ½ cups cheese
  • 1 cup fresh salsa
  • 1 cup guacamole
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • shredded lettuce
  • 12 hard taco shells

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 375F and position your oven rack in the middle of the oven (if it’s too high your tacos could get too toasty).
  2. Cook your meat or beans with homemade taco seasoning on a skillet over medium heat. Once cooked, turn off heat and set aside.
  3. On an oven safe baking dish, line up 12-14 hard taco shells. Stand the taco shells up so they are easier to fill. I can usually fit 14 tacos in one 9×13 inch pan. Fill with cooked meat and top with cheese.
  4. Place your taco platter in the oven for 10-12 minutes.
  5. This is where I gather the kids, get them to wash their hands, and get everything else ready for the table.
  6. After 10 minutes, the taco shells should be crispy and ready to be removed from the oven. Begin stuffing your tacos with the remaining ingredients assembly line style: add shredded lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, guacamole, more cheese, and sour cream. Once you stuff the remaining tacos with the toppings your family likes, take the entire platter to the table (use pot holders). Distribute tacos and enjoy your hot tacos together!
