Oven Tacos

A recipe my mom posted on her blog that I want to try out. It looks and sounds really good.

Oven Tacos
Copied from MommyImHungry

2 lbs ground beef (or turkey/chicken)

1 small onion diced

1 small can diced green chilies

1 recipe for Homemade taco seasoning (below)

1 (8 ounce) can low sodium tomato sauce

1 (16 ounce) can fat free refried beans

2 cups shredded reduced fat Colby-jack cheese

18-20 hard taco shells {if gluten free, be sure they are}

Optional Condiments-
Lettuce (shredded)

Tomato (diced)

Salsa

Guacamole

Sour Cream

Olives, sliced

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

In a large skillet brown ground beef and onion over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess liquid. Return to pan, add chilies, refired beans, tomato sauce, and taco seasoning. Mix well and cook for a few minutes if mixture seems runny.

Spoon the taco meat mixture into the taco shells and place into a 9x13 inch baking dish, standing up. Sprinkle cheese over the top of the taco meat in each shell. Place into the oven and bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the tacos are heated through. Remove from the oven and top with any optional condiments for serving.

Taco Seasoning

1 tablespoon chili powder

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

In a small bowl, mix all together. Store in an airtight container.

I used all of this on 2 lbs of ground meat with a little water mixed in.
