Preheat Oven & Prep Dough:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C).

Bake Again:

Notes

Make it spicier: Add extra jalapeños, hot sauce, or a spicy taco seasoning mix.

Substitutions: Swap ground beef for ground turkey, chicken, or a plant-based alternative.

Make it ahead: Cook the taco meat in advance and refrigerate it for up to 3 days for a quicker meal.
