Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning

- 10 pieces Hard taco shells
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can Refried beans
- 2 cups Chopped lettuce

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, and cook until browned. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens.
Spread a thin layer of refried beans inside each taco shell. Place the taco shells in a 9x13-inch baking dish, standing upright.
Spoon the seasoned ground beef into each taco shell, filling them about halfway.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the meat in each taco shell.
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the taco shells are lightly crispy.
Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven. Top each taco with chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa.
Serve immediately and enjoy your oven-baked tacos!
