Tex Mex Baked Beef Tacos

I decided to make my own crunchy taco shells. So easy and so fun. I've done this before and I have learned through trial and error.

Get your corn tortillas and wrap in a moist towel and microwave for 1 minute. Then spray each one with greasing spray (pam). Lay over the baking rack. What you need to remember is placing a baking sheet to catch the grease or your house will start smoking. Bake on 375 for about 10 minutes.



For the stuff I grounded 2.5 pounds of beef which was way too much for one meal so I am going to turn this into two recipes. Stayed tuned for the next meal. I then added a can of corn (drained), a can of rotel (drained), 8 oz of cream cheese, diced red pepper and diced onion. Don't forget to add a package of taco seasoning. I'd recommend two for this much meat.






I then used a spoon to add the mixture to the crunchy shells and filled up a casserole dish. I added shredded cheese and cilantro on top and baked for 10 minutes on 350.







If you can see in the bottom picture how much leftover meat mixture I had. I am excited to make another meal with it. This was so amazing!

Ingredients:
hamburger meat
cilantro
1 can of corn
1 can of rotel
1 red pepper
1 onion
taco seasoning
corn tortillas
