How to Make Oven Baked Tacos

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Stir in 1 packet of taco seasoning, 1 (15 ounce) can of refried beans, and 1 (15 ounce) can of tomato sauce. Heat through, stirring occasionally, until heated through and flavors combine (about 5 minutes).
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  4. Lightly spray a 9x13 inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
  5. Fill each of the 12 taco shells with the meat and bean mixture. Arrange them side-by-side in the prepared baking dish.
  6. Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded cheese evenly over the filled tacos.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the shells are lightly crisp. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  8. Remove from oven and top with your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomatoes, onions, sour cream, or guacamole, if desired.
