Oven Baked Soft Tacos will become the dinner everyone asks for. Seasoned ground beef loaded up in soft taco shells, then warmed all together in the oven!

Today’s recipe are these Oven Baked Soft Tacos and they are wonderful! My family and I are taco-loving fools. We eat them way too much but I don’t care. This oven-baked version is one of my faves I have been making for awhile.
The reason I like to make our soft tacos this way is because I don’t have to warm a million tortillas in the microwave before I fill them. I fold all the tortillas in a taco shape and load them up in a 9×13-inch baking pan. Then I fill them with all the delicious meat (you could always add beans too). Pop it in the oven for about 5 minutes to get the shells warm and just ever so slightly crisp.

I don’t have to tell you what the next best thing about a taco is that you can use whatever toppings your heart desires. We love chopped tomatoes, green leaf lettuce and lots of Queso cheese! I buy the jars from Mission brand and heat it up in the microwave right after the tacos are out of the oven. Then drizzle it all over the tops. Talk about yum!
