Baked Tacos
Baked tacos are an easy way to prepare your favorite Mexican food. Try this easy baked taco recipe, it’s as delicious as my Chicken Quesadillas, and would pair perfectly with Mexican Street Corn!
This baked taco recipe only has 8 ingredients including the beef, water, and taco shells.
So seriously, you can’t go wrong on Taco Tuesday.
Baked Tacos
Baked tacos will take you just over 30 minutes to make.
This includes the time it takes to brown the beef on the skillet, and bake the tacos in the oven.
What Kind of Cheese for Tacos
Of course, you want to have tacos with cheese. For this recipe, we’re using cheddar cheese.
Although, a great cheese to use with a little more kick to it is Monterey Jack.
What kind of cheese for your tacos really is a personal preference when you’re making tacos in the oven.
If you’re looking for that restaurant or taco truck flavor, most of them use Asadero cheese.
Beef Taco Recipe
We’re going to use our favorite ground beef, 80/20 chuck for these oven baked tacos.
The 80/20 meat to fat ratio helps keep the meat from drying out while browning it in the fry pan or skillet.
Feel free to use other percentages of meat, such as 90/10. Adding a little water and covering the pan or skillet while cooking can help the beef from drying out.

Did you use crispy taco shells or soft ones?
I have been making these for years. I don't use the beans and I also bake the taco's with the lettuce and tomato's. So yummy!!
