Oven Baked Tacos

My family loved this recipe! It’s a great way to make tacos especially if you are using leftover taco meat and you are looking for a quick and easy dinner. With leftovers you are just spooning everything into shells and baked. It will look like you made a complicated dinner when in fact it was quick and easy and everyone will enjoy it. 

We thought this recipe was just awesome. Although, it was nothing like the original recipe I think it’s great and a super easy way to make a ton of tacos at the same time. This simple recipe can feed up to 18 people or 18 tacos which ever you are looking for!!
