Tacos come in many variations with both soft and crunchy tortillas available to buy in boat, pocket, and shell shapes.<\/p>\n
But no matter how they\u2019re served, it can be difficult to keep the base hot when loading them up with meat and cold toppings like salsa, cream, and guacamole.<\/p>\n
Mum-of-three turned Laura Fuentes has overcome this obstacle with one simple remedy – to bake the tortillas after they\u2019ve been filled.<\/p>\n
Sharing her recipe on her cooking blog, the entrepreneur claimed: \u201cI like simple and delicious meals that can be put together quickly with easy-to-find real food ingredients.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis easy taco night recipe for baked tacos will let you eat nice, warm tacos at the same time as the rest of your family!\u201d<\/p>\n

Laura warned that if it\u2019s too high the tacos could get too toasty.<\/p>\n Next, cook the meat or beans with homemade taco seasoning on a skillet over medium heat. Once cooked, turn off the heat and set aside.<\/p>\n The seasoning can be made from one tablespoon of chilli powder, one and a half teaspoons of ground cumin, one teaspoon sea salt, one teaspoon of ground black pepper, half a teaspoon of ground paprika, one-quarter of a teaspoon of garlic powder and equal parts (one-quarter of a teaspoon) onion powder, crushed red pepper flakes, and lastly, dried oregano.<\/p>\n In an oven-safe baking dish, line up 12-14 hard taco shells. Stand the taco shells up so they are easier to fill with the cooked meat and layer of cheese.<\/p>\n Place the taco platter in the oven for 10-12 minutes. After this time, the taco shells should be crispy and ready to be removed from the oven.<\/p>\n Begin stuffing the tacos with the remaining ingredients assembly-line style: add shredded lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, guacamole, more cheese, and sour cream.<\/p>\n Once the remaining tacos have been stuffed, take the entire platter to the table, distribute tacos and enjoy them hot at once.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/14\/590x\/secondary\/tacos-baked-recipe-easy-4986215.jpg?r=1696019178592\")
