Ingredients
– 12 taco-sized corn or flour tortillas
– 1 pound ground beef (or turkey/chicken)
– 1 packet taco seasoning mix (or homemade)
– 1 can (15 oz) refried beans
– 1 cup corn (canned or frozen)
– 1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
– 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Mexican blend, or your choice)
– 1 cup diced onions
– 1 cup diced bell peppers
– 1 jalapeño, sliced (optional)
– Sour cream, avocado, or guacamole (for serving)
– Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
Making baked tacos is straightforward if you follow these instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cook the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
3. Add Seasoning: Stir in the taco seasoning and a splash of water. Mix well and simmer for a few minutes.
4. Prepare the Tortillas: While the meat cooks, warm the tortillas to make them pliable (either in the microwave or on a dry skillet).
5. Assemble the Tacos: Spread a layer of refried beans on each tortilla. Add a spoonful of the meat mixture, corn, diced tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, and jalapeños.
6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each filled tortilla.
7. Bake: Place the assembled tacos in a baking dish. Cook in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the tortillas are crispy.
8. Garnish: Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro before serving.
9. Serve: Present with sour cream, avocado, or guacamole on the side for dipping.
