Baked Crunchy Tacos


1 pound ground beef or turkey
1 14.5oz can petite diced tomatoes, drained
1 packet taco seasoning
1 cup cheese, divided
1/4 cup salsa verde
15 crunchy taco shells
shredded lettuce, tomatoes, cilantro, salsa, sour cream, guacamole, lime juice to top

1. Preheat oven to 400*.
2. Brown and drain meat.
3. Stir in tomatoes, taco seasoning, 1/2 cup cheese and salsa verde into meat mixture, dividing equally until all the meat is used.
4. Arrange taco shells standing up in a 9x13 pan. Fill each shell with the meat mixture, dividing equally until all the meat is used.
5. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup of cheese over the tops of the filled tacos and bake for 15-20 minutes. Cheese will be melted and the meat hot.
6. Top with the toppings and enjoy.

* I really didn't think these would be all that special compared to a normal taco but I was SO wrong! We have made these numerous times since finding this recipe becuase they are so flavorful and addicting! They have a much better flavor compared to your normal taco seasoned crunchy tacos. The hubby and I agree that fresh lime juice squeezed on top and fresh pico are MUST with this recipe!
