An easy recipe that is perfect for getting those tacos on the table quickly on those busy weekday nights!
Leesh and Lu here with a sanity-saving recipe to share! These Oven Tacos are so. so. good. I can’t believe I had never thought to bake tacos in the oven before I came upon this recipe. It makes serving them a breeze, because all 20 of them are ready to eat at once, so they are perfect for a potluck or feeding a crowd. They also make a great no-fuss weeknight meal. They are fast and easy and you can even prep the filling ahead of time if you need to.
The ground beef and refried bean filling is perfectly seasoned and a breeze to throw together. (We used our Homemade Taco Seasoning.) Put a scoop of filling in each shell, top with a pinch of cheese, and bake until warm and melty. Don’t skimp on the toppings, though. They are what take these tacos from good to great. Our favorites are salsa, guacamole, sour cream, cilantro, and sliced black olives. Shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes are fabulous, too. This 30-minute meal is great for hectic holiday evenings. Hope you’ll try it and let us know what you think.
