Oven Baked Beef Tacos

Thank you Six Sisters Stuff

1 lb lean ground beef
1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 medium onion, diced
1 (1 oz) packet taco seasoning
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chunky salsa
12 hard taco shells
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a large skillet, heat oil and add onion and garlic – saute for about 5 minutes until soft.  
• Add beef and taco seasoning, cooking until meat is browned. 
• Add beans and salsa.  
• Mix well and let cook for a couple of minutes so that the flavours can meld and the mixture can thicken.
• In a large 9×13″ baking pan, line up all the taco shells. 
• Fill each one with a couple of scoops of the beef mixture and pack down into the shell. 
• Repeat until all the shells are filled. Top each taco with shredded cheese.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes (or until all the cheese is melted).
• Serve with your favourite taco toppings (tomatoes, lettuce, olives, sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo , hot sauce, or whatever you like!).
