A delightful twist on classic tacos, baked to perfection with a flavorful filling and melted cheese.
Combine all the taco seasoning ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
Store any leftover seasoning in an airtight container for future use.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and diced onion over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
Use a wooden spoon to break up the meat for even cooking.
Add the green chilies, tomato sauce, refried beans, and prepared taco seasoning to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 5 minutes.
Adjust the seasoning to taste if needed.
Arrange the taco shells in a baking dish, standing upright.
Use foil to help keep the shells upright if needed.
Spoon the beef mixture into each taco shell, filling them evenly. Top with shredded cheese.
Don't overfill the shells to prevent spillage.
Bake the tacos in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Keep an eye on the tacos to avoid burning the shells.
Remove from the oven and serve with your favorite toppings like sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
