Notes: The difference between these baked tacos and typical tacos is that the meat and a bit of cheese is added to the shells and baked for a few minutes.
Not only do they look so yummy packed together and standing upright in a casserole pan; they are easy to prepare, and even easier to grab and enjoy. You can also make these with pork or chicken. Just three simple steps to make this delicious crowd pleaser:
Brown the ground beef and onion. Stir in taco seasoning, or (use Homemade Taco Seasoning), and diced tomatoes.
Stack the taco shells side-by-side in a casserole pan and fill with cheese and meat mixture.
Top with shredded cheese and bake until the shells are crispy and the cheese is thoroughly melted.
To Keep Baked Tacos Crispy:
These tacos are naturally a little bit soft on the bottom due to the moisture from the meat. Here are a few tips to keep them as crispy as possible.
Start with a thin layer of cheese in the bottom to create a barrier between the shell and the meat.
Ensure your meat is cooked until all liquid is evaporated.
Fill and bake just before serving. Once baked, serve immediately.
