Baked Crispy Beef Tacos (Page 2 ) | July 9, 2025

 

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. As it heats up, you know the drill – brown that ground beef over medium heat until no pink remains, which typically takes about 6-8 minutes.
2. Drain any excess fat, then sprinkle in the taco seasoning along with 1/2 cup water. Let it simmer, stirring occasionally until the mixture has thickened. This is your flavor fiesta, friends.
3. Remove the pan from heat. It’s time to get those taco shells ready to become golden vessels of deliciousness. Stand them up in an ungreased baking dish.
4. Spoon the seasoned beef into each shell, packing it with as much goodness as you fancy. Then, sprinkle that shredded cheddar cheese over the top because, let’s face it, cheese is the glue that holds our lives together.
5. Pop the dish in the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, until you see the shells are turning a beautiful golden brown and the cheese has turned into a bubbly blanket of joy.
6. Take your masterpieces out of the oven, garnish with diced tomatoes, and any other toppings you love.

Variations & Tips
– Go lean: Use ground turkey or even a meatless alternative if you’re cutting down on red meat.
– Cheese it up: Experiment with different cheeses like Pepper Jack for a spicy kick or a Mexican cheese blend for authenticity.
– For a quick weekday meal: Prep the beef ahead of time, and then all you have to do is assemble and bake.
– Keep the shells from closing up while baking by placing crumpled balls of foil in between them.
Whichever way you mix it up, these Baked Crispy Beef Tacos are unmistakably a treat to come home to. Enjoy the crunch, the flavor, and the smiles around your table tonight!
