INGREDIENTS
2
lb ground beef
1
can refried beans
1
can of tomato sauce
1
packet taco seasoning
1
oz shredded cheese
12
tortillas/taco shells
DIRECTIONS
Start
with the taco shells, buy them in the store or make em yourself. If you make
them yourself, I don’t think you will ever go back to purchasing taco shells.
All
you need is some tortillas and cooking spray. We used some small, soft “taco”
tortillas. We used the flour kind but corn is fine too.
First
you want to steam them… Wet some paper towels and wring them out well. Layer
the tortillas with the wet paper towels on a plate and then microwave (we did 6
at a time).
Keep
an eye on them, it should be about 30 seconds until they are steamed. Then
lightly spray each side with cooking spray and drape each tortilla over two
bars of the oven rack.
It
is wise to put a baking sheet below them to catch any oil from the cooking
spray. Bake at 350-375 degrees for 7-10 minutes.
You
will be able to tell that they are browning & getting crispy. Take them out
and set them aside!
Okay,
now for the filling All you need is ground beef (2 pounds), 1 can of refried
beans, 1 can of tomato sauce, 1 packet of taco seasoning, shredded cheese,
& your favorite taco toppings.
Brown
the ground beef in a large skillet. COMPLETELY drain all grease and return to
skillet. Over low heat, add refried beans, taco seasoning, and about half to
two-thirds of the tomato sauce (you can eye this to see whats best, you don’t
want the filling to be too runny or your tacos will be soggy on the bottoms).
Blend well and scoop into the tacos (which should be “standing” in a lightly greased casserole type dish). Then just sprinkle the cheese over the top and bake. I think I did my at 375 degrees for about 10 minutes.
