Description
Our oven baked beef tacos are a crowd favorite and take less than 30 minutes to make for a delicious weeknight meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning
- 1 cup chunky salsa
- 12 hard taco shells
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tomatoes, diced (optional topping)
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded (optional topping)
- 6 ounces canned olives, sliced (optional topping)
- 1 cup sour cream (optional topping)
Instructions
- Step: Preheat oven to 400℉.
- Step: In a large skillet, brown you hamburger along with the chopped onion and garlic. Cook until meat is brown, drain grease well.
- Step: Add black beans, taco seasoning, and salsa. Mix well and let cook for a couple of minutes so that the flavors can meld and the mixture can thicken.
- Step: In a large 9 x 13 inch baking dish, line up all the taco shells. Fill each one with a couple of scoops of the beef mixture and pack down into the shell. Repeat until all the shells are filled. Top each taco with shredded cheese.
- Step: Bake for 8-10 minutes (or until all the cheese is melted).
- Step: Serve with your favorite taco toppings (tomatoes, lettuce, olives, sour cream, guacamole, hot sauce, or whatever you like).
Notes
You can substitute ground beef for ground turkey or chicken. To prevent shells from breaking, use flat-bottomed taco shells. The taco filling freezes well in an airtight container or freezer bag.
