Oven Baked Beef Tacos

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375ºF and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, add beef and taco seasoning, mix until beef has browned. Make sure to chop and break up the meat so it’s fine without large pieces. Once browned, add in salsa (optional green chiles as well in this step) and mix. Set aside.

Step 3

Optional: Prepare refried beans as directed, if using.

Step 4

On your lined baking sheet, add tortillas and spray oil on both sides of the tortillas.

Step 5

Spoon roughly 1/4/-1/3 cup of the ground beef mixture onto one side of each tortilla, add a tablespoon or two of refried beans, and sprinkle cheese on top.

Step 6

Bake for 10 minutes, unfolded.

Step 7

Fold the other side over, flatten with your spatula, and bake the tacos for an additional 5-10 minutes, until crispy to your liking.

Step 8

Not crispy enough? Broil on high for about 90 seconds (watching closely to avoid burning) until the tortillas are golden brown.

Step 9

Serve with your favorite toppings! I like to gently open mine to add more toppings to the inside) and enjoy!
