Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 can (16 ounces) refried beans
- 0.5 cup water
- 10 shells hard taco shells
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded
- 1 cup tomatoes, diced
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup taco sauce (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
Add the taco seasoning packet, refried beans, and water to the skillet with the cooked beef. Mix well until everything is combined and heated through, then remove from heat.
Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with the taco shells, standing them upright next to each other.
Spoon the beef and bean mixture evenly into each taco shell until nearly full.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top of each taco, covering the filling.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the taco shells are crisp.
Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and allow the tacos to cool for 2-3 minutes.
Top each taco with your favorite toppings, such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, and taco sauce (if desired).
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious oven tacos!
