Hey y’all!
I found this amazing recipe (thanks to Pinterest) and I just had to share!
I’ve pinned hundreds of recipes, yet I have only tried a handful of them. {I’m sure there are people who can relate!} However, I plan on changing that!
On Sunday, Clint and I were talking about finding and trying new recipes. OF COURSE, the first place I searched was my “Yummy in my Tummy” Pinterest Board. I pinned a recipe for baked tacos many months ago, and decided it was time to try it. You can find the original post HERE.
It did NOT disappoint!
I loved this recipe because it was EASY, QUICK, and DELICIOUS!
What more could you ask for?
Here is a picture of the ingredients needed:
Shredded cheese not pictured. It was chilling in the fridge. :)
*I made this recipe my own! I did not completely copy the original recipe, so there is a slight variation.*
My ingredients included:
1 lb. of Ground Beef
Onion (Optional)
Taco Seasoning of your choice
Small can of Tomato Sauce
Taco Sauce
Refried Beans
Hard Taco Shells (Stand and Stuff/Flat Bottom Recommended)
Old El Paso (60 Second) Mexican Rice
2 Cups of Shredded Cheese (Mexican Blend) *Not pictured.
If you visited the original post, you read that she made her own hard taco shells. I’m all about convenience, and I didn’t see a reason to reinvent the wheel. Therefore, I used the Old El Paso Stand and Stuff Taco Shells. I HIGHLY recommend using the Stand and Stuff Shells, you will see why shortly!
Preheat oven to 400°F
First: Cook ground beef and drain.
Then add chopped onion (optional) and taco seasoning packet (or homemade seasoning).
{Note: I did not add water to my meat as directed on seasoning packet. I’m not sure if it makes a difference or not with this particular recipe.}
*While the meat was cooking, I cooked my 60 Second Mexican Rice.
Clint and I love Mexican rice, so we added it to our mix. However, this is completely optional as well.
Next: Add tomato sauce, refried beans, and rice. Mix well!
Then: Place taco shells in glass pan. Using the Stand and Stuff Shells helps them stand very nicely. :)
Next: Fill the taco shells with the meat mixture.
After I filled the taco shells, I added taco sauce on top of them.
{This was something else I added to satisfy my taste buds.}
Then: Cover the tacos with the shredded cheese.
After that: Bake tacos at 400°F for 10 minutes.
Remove from oven.
Finally: Top with your favorite taco toppings and enjoy!
If you love tacos or mexican food, you will LOVE this recipe!
Do you know of any easy, quick, and delicious recipes? If so, I would love to hear them!
Enjoy the rest of your week!
