Satisfy your craving for tacos with this easy oven baked beef taco recipe. Delicious seasoned ground beef, cheese, and toppings all baked in a crispy taco shell. Perfect for a quick and tasty dinner!
Chop the yellow onion and mince the garlic. Heat a large pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the garlic and onion, cooking until the onion is translucent.
Add the beef and cook until browned, about 7 to 10 minutes. Drain the grease.
Mix in the water and taco seasoning. Set aside.
Spray a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray.
Arrange all the taco shells in the baking pan, pressed against each other so they stand up. Spoon beef filling into each taco shell and sprinkle with cheese.
Bake uncovered for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the taco shells are slightly browned.
Prepare the toppings by chopping the tomato, red onion, and cilantro. Slice the jalapeno.
Remove tacos from the oven and garnish with toppings. Squeeze on fresh lime juice, if desired. Enjoy!
