These Oven-Baked Cheesy Tacos are crispy, cheesy, and filled with seasoned meat and your favorite toppings. Perfect for a fun family dinner or taco night.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 soft taco-sized flour tortillas (or corn tortillas if preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing the tortillas)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack)
  • 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey, chicken, or a vegetarian option)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade taco seasoning)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup diced onions (optional)
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Sliced jalapeños
  • Sour cream
  • Salsa or hot sauce
  • Chopped cilantro
  • Shredded cheese (additional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly brush both sides of the tortillas with olive oil. Fold them in half and arrange upright in a muffin tin or baking dish.
  2. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese inside each taco shell.
  3. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  4. While the taco shells bake, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Let simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Once taco shells are done, let them cool for a minute. Fill each taco with the cooked filling and top with your favorite toppings.
  6. Serve the tacos immediately while hot and crispy, topped with extra cheese and salsa.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, use black beans or lentils instead of meat.
  • Feel free to customize toppings based on your preference.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
