In a large skillet over medium high heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain grease and return to stovetop. Add taco seasoning and water and simmer for several minutes.
Meanwhile preheat oven to 400°F.
Place taco shells in a 13x9 baking dish. Fill with meat. (add beans and corn if desired) Top with shredded cheese and place in oven for 8-10 minutes.
Remove and top with lettuce and tomato. Provide additional toppings if desired. ENJOY!
Notes
Yes, ground turkey is a delicious substitute for the beef in these tacos. While I haven’t tried it with meatless beef substitutes, this method of baking tacos should work just fine with those ingredients as well.
While soft tortillas are great for most taco recipes, you need to start with a crunchy taco shell to achieve that crispy bite.
If your tacos are soggy after baking, make sure you start with ground beef that has been cooked and drained fully of sauce. You can add your cheese before adding the meat and this helps.
