Crispy Baked Fajita Tacos

Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees F.  Add all fajita seasoning ingredients to a small bowl and mix to combine.  You can also add them into the pan one by one if you like.

Step 2

Dice the peppers and onion into bite size pieces.  Traditionally fajitas are made with thinly sliced bell peppers, but these tacos will be much easier to eat if you make them bite size pieces.

Step 3

Heat a large pan over medium heat and add olive oil, peppers, onion and fajita seasoning.  Give it a good mix and let the everything cook until peppers are softened and covered in the fajita seasoning, about 10 minutes.

Step 4

Lightly spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.  Warm your tortillas so that you can easily fold them without breaking.  I just heat mine for a few seconds in a skillet with some cooking spray.  You could also microwave them.

Step 5

Spread a couple of tablespoons of refried beans onto one half of each tortilla.  Top with a small handful of shredded cheese and then a spoonful of the fajita veggies.  I like to top with a little extra cheese, just to help everything stick together.  Fold the other half of the tortillas over and place the tacos on the greased sheet pan.  Spray the tops of the tortillas with cooking spray and place in the oven.

Step 6

Bake tacos until cheese is melted and bubbly and tortillas are crispy and starting to brown, about 10 minutes.  Let cool and enjoy with your favorite taco toppings!
