Scale
For the Taco Filling:
- 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
- 1 packet (or 2 tbsp) taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced bell pepper (any color)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
For the Tacos:
- 8 small flour or corn tortillas
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing tortillas)
Optional Toppings:
- Shredded lettuce
- Diced tomatoes
- Sour cream
- Salsa
- Avocado or guacamole
- Fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Cook the Beef: Spread the ground beef evenly on one side of the sheet pan. Sprinkle taco seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the meat. Add diced onions and bell peppers. Toss everything together.
- Bake: Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for about 12–15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the beef is fully cooked.
- Drain Excess Grease: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and carefully drain any excess grease. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the beef mixture and let it melt.
- Toast the Tortillas: Brush each tortilla with a little olive oil and place them on the other side of the sheet pan. Bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the tortillas are warm and slightly crispy.
- Assemble the Tacos: Spoon the beef mixture into the warm tortillas. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Notes
- Swap out the beef for chicken, turkey, or plant-based crumbles for a different flavor.
- Use hard taco shells instead of tortillas if you prefer a crunchier taco.
- Make it a one-pan meal by adding some roasted corn or black beans to the sheet pan.
