I don't know about you, but in our house we eat a lot of Mexican Food. 

Taco Tuesday is in full swing at our house...we have some sort of Taco on Tuesdays.

My girls LOVE tacos/burritos...they would eat that every night for dinner if I let them. 

I love the traditional taco, but I also love making Baked Tacos! 

Here is one of my favorite Baked Taco Recipes....

Here is what you need:

- 1 lb of Ground Turkey (I use Jennie-O Lean) or Ground Beef

- Packet of Taco Seasoning

- Can of Black Beans, drained

- Can of Corn, drained

- 2 cups of Salsa (I used Chi-Chi's Medium Salsa)

- 2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese 

-Taco Shells

Directions:

Brown your Ground Turkey (or Ground Beef)

After your have cooked the meat, add the taco seasoning (and water) according to the taco seasoning directions.

Drain your corn & black beans:

Add the corn, black beans & 2 cups of salsa to the mixture:

Let simmer for 15-20 minutes

When the meat mixture is done simmering, add the mixture to taco shells & place in baking dish:

**NOTE...this will make 10-12 baked tacos (depending on how much of the mixture you use per taco. I only assemble & bake the amount we are going to eat that night because these don't save for the next day, the shells get soggy. So, I save the leftover meat mixture & then when we have it for leftovers later that week, I assemble them again & bake them.** 

Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes (until cheese is melted)

 You can eat these without putting garnishes on them, but I like to add goodies!

I add taco sauce, diced tomato, shredded lettuce, sour cream & guacamole. Kevin & the girls also add olives.
