Additional Notes: 

*To make taco meat, I fry ground beef with diced onions, green peppers, and garlic. Drain grease and season with salt, pepper, chili powder, hot sauce, and cumin (Don't leave this one out! It is essential for good taco meat!).

**If you like beans, use two cans! :) If using freshly cooked beans, use 1 1/4 cups cooked beans per can.

Preparation Time: 

20-30 minutes

Cooking Time: 

25-35 minutes

Tammy's Review: 

I created this easy baked tacos recipe to add some variety when using up leftover taco meat. It's quick to roll up these tacos, and it's a great dish to serve to a crowd! The flour tortillas get crispy on the outside/top, but the inside is soft and tasty. Be sure to season your meat generously, since it's the only part that has seasonings on/in it! :D My recipe rating: 9/10.

Fantastic!

I love this dish! It's so simple, but very tasty. My husband loves Mexican and requested that this become a standard.
