Who doesn’t like tacos? I know I get a request for them at least once a week from my family!
While I love tacos myself serving them to my family usually ended up in a big mess. My three boys are all under 10 and most of their taco fillings ended up on their plates pretty much with their first bite! I’ve found a solution though-Oven Baked Soft Tacos!
Why I love this recipe
By baking the tacos quickly before serving the cheese melts and holds the taco filling together in the tortilla and makes for mess-free eating! I also love the slight crisp baking gives to soft flour tortillas.
Ingredients
- ground beef
- taco seasoning
- refried beans
- black beans
- shredded Mexican blend cheese or cheddar cheese
- flour tortillas
- toppings of your choice: pico de gallo, avocado, shredded lettuce, sour cream, green onion, etc
