Baked Tacos

My family really enjoyed this recipe.  The part I liked most was the filling is kind of glued to the shell and doesn't dump out when you take a bite, and the fact that they are prefilled before every one is sitting at the table so serving kids is simplified.

















Baked Tacos

2 lbs ground beef
4 tsp dried minced onion
3 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1 (8 oz ) can tomato sauce
1 (16 oz) can refried beans
2 c shredded Colby jack cheese
18-20 hard taco shells

Optional Condiments
Lettuce, shredded
tomato, diced
Salsa
Guacamole

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  In a small bowl combine dried onion, chili pwd, cornstarch, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper.  Mix well and set aside.

In a large skillet brown the ground beef over medium-high heat.  Drain off grease.  Add the refried beans, tomato sauce, and prepared taco seasoning.  Mix well.

Spoon the taco meat mixture into the taco shells and place into a 9 x 13 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 min. or until the cheese has melted and the tacos are heated through.  Remove from the oven and top with any additional condiments for serving.
