Oven Baked Beef Tacos

Recipe from Six Sister's Stuff

These were one of the best tacos I've ever eaten!   Yummy!!

Makes 4-6 servings (depending on how many tacos each person wants!).

INGREDIENTS:
1 lb lean ground beef

1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 medium onion, diced

1 (1 oz) packet taco seasoning (or 2-3 tablespoons of Homemade Taco Seasoning)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup chunky salsa

12 hard taco shells

1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a large skillet, heat oil and add onion and garlic – sauté for about 5 minutes until soft.  Add beef and taco seasoning, cooking until meat is browned. Add beans and salsa.  Mix well and let cook for a couple of minutes so that the flavors can meld and the mixture can thicken.

In a large 9x13" baking pan, line up all the taco shells. Fill each one with a couple of scoops of the beef mixture and pack down into the shell. Repeat until all the shells are filled. Top each taco with shredded cheese.

Bake for 8-10 minutes (or until all the cheese is melted).  Serve with your favorite taco toppings (tomatoes, lettuce, olives, sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo , hot sauce, or whatever you like!).
