Description
These oven-baked cheesy tacos are simple to make, crisp on the outside and melty inside, perfect for families or small gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (or turkey/chicken)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- ½ cup salsa
- 1 cup black beans, drained
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 10–12 small tortillas (corn or flour)
- Cooking spray
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomatoes, cilantro, sour cream, jalapeños, lime
Instructions
- Brown ground beef in a skillet with onions. Add garlic, taco seasoning, salsa, and beans. Simmer until thickened.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment. Lay tortillas flat and add a small layer of cheese to each.
- Spoon the taco meat onto each tortilla. Top with more cheese. Fold gently without overstuffing.
- Spray tacos lightly with oil. Bake 10–12 minutes, or until golden and melty. Broil 1–2 minutes for extra crisp.
- Top with lettuce, tomatoes, jalapeños, sour cream, cilantro, or lime.
Notes
Lightly warming tortillas prevents cracking. Keep tacos close together to stand upright during baking.
