Convection Oven-Baked Beef Tacos

Ingredients

10 taco shells
1 ½ lbs ground beef
1 medium sized onion
1 envelope taco seasoning mix
1 can refried beans (OPTIONAL)
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 tsp hot pepper sauce, optional
Shredded lettuce, chopped tomato, sliced jalapeño chiles, chopped red onion, lime wedges, cilantro leaves, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream, if desired

Directions

Preheat the Convection oven to 325° F.

In a large skillet, cook beef over medium and onion heat for 6-8 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles; drain. Stir in taco seasoning mix and water and boil.

Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 2 to 3 minutes, stir constantly until mixture has thickened. Remove from heat.

Assemble by spreading about 2 tablespoons of refried beans in the bottom of each shell.

Top each shell with ¼ cup of beef mixture and 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese.

Cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

Top with remaining ingredients, if desired.
