Cinco de Mayo is almost here, and I am going to celebrate by baking up a pan of these amazing tacos! These oven baked beef tacos are so simple to make, especially when you need to feed a crowd. While these tacos are a festive addition to your Cinco de Mayo menu, they’re also perfect for any weeknight when you’re looking for a quick dinner – my kids devour these tacos every time I make them.
For these baked tacos, you’ll start with taco shells, ground beef, refried beans and cheddar cheese. I like to use the taco shells with the flat bottoms so that they don’t fall over in the pan. I typically can fit 10-11 taco shells inside a 9″x13″ pan. The taco shells are layered with the beans, meat and cheese, then baked to hot and melty perfection.
I add the finishing touch to these tacos with shredded lettuce and a generous helping of Rojo’s. Rojo’s offers a complete line of fresh salsas and dips that taste like they came from a restaurant. Rojo’s salsas are superior to jarred salsa because they’re made in small batches using premium fresh ingredients and time-honored family recipes.
I used the homestyle fresh cut salsa for this recipe, but really any of the Rojo’s salsa varieties will work. I add the fresh cut salsa to so many dishes, everything from taco salads to grilled fish to add tons of flavor without a lot of calories!
Whether you’re having a party or simply looking for a family friendly dinner, these oven baked tacos are the way to go! The combination of the creamy beans, seasoned meat, melted cheese, crisp lettuce and fresh salsa is unbeatable.
