Cooking Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (190°C). While the oven is heating, prepare the ground beef filling. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the diced onions and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook the beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the taco seasoning (or your choice of spices) and a splash of water if needed. Mix well and let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Assemble your tacos by filling each crispy taco shell with the beef mixture. Top generously with shredded cheese, making sure each taco is well-filled. Crispy taco shells are a highlight of this recipe that ensures they don't fall apart.
Place the assembled tacos on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-browning.
Once baked, remove the tacos from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
For the best results, consider warming your tortilla shells before filling them to prevent tearing.
Additionally, if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to maintain their crispness. You can also freeze assembled tacos before baking for a quick meal option later on.
Enjoy your cooking and feel free to experiment with different fillings and toppings to make this dish your own!
