Oven Baked Beef Tacos Recipe
Description
This recipe starts with ground beef seasoned with taco seasoning and water, cooked until the beef is browned and the seasoning is absorbed. The seasoned beef is then spooned into taco shells arranged upright in a baking dish, covered with shredded cheddar cheese, and baked to melt the cheese and warm the shells through. Once out of the oven, the tacos are garnished with crisp shredded lettuce, fresh diced tomato, and cool sour cream to balance the cooked flavors with fresh textures and creaminess. The oven step adds a melted cheese layer and warms the shells without making them overly soft, preserving their crunch. These tacos serve as a convenient, hands-on meal that combines savory, cheesy, and fresh elements in each bite.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 3 tablespoons taco seasoning or 1 packet
- 1/2 cup water
- 10 taco shells
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 cup lettuce shredded
- 1 tomato diced, vine
- 1 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Add your ground beef to a large skillet on medium high heat and cook until no longer pink, breaking it apart (about 5-6 minutes).
- Whisk taco seasoning and water together and add to your pan, letting the liquid cook until mostly reduced, another 2-3 minutes.
- Place the taco shells into a baking dish standing them up against each other.
- Spoon the beef into the taco shells then add the cheddar cheese and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and top with lettuce, tomato and sour cream before serving.
