Crunchy Oven Baked Beef Tacos
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef or any preferred ground meat
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium taco seasoning
- 1 small onion sliced
- 1 & ½ cups diced tomatoes
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped
- Salt/pepper to taste
- 10 medium soft flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups shredded Mexican or cheddar cheese
- Optional toppings: sour cream fresh cilantro, jalapenos, feta cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. When hot, add in the ground beef, taco seasoning, and onions. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking up the meat as it cooks, until the beef is browned. Drain fat, as needed.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes and cilantro and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes. Season with salt & pepper to taste and remove from the heat.
- Lightly spread olive oil on both sides of the tortillas and place on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the ground beef mixture onto one side of each tortilla and sprinkle cheese on top. Fold the other side over and bake the tacos for 12-15 minutes, and broil on high for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden brown.
- Serve the tacos topped with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
