These Crispy Oven Baked Beef & Cheese Tacos are my attempt at taking the traditional Jack in the Box taco, and healthifying it up a bit to something I can feel good about eating (and something that leaves me feeling good!). As a healthier crunchy taco, these baked crispy tacos are a perfect dinner for any weeknight. You can also make extra and keep them in the freezer, perfect for when a late night craving hits!

These oven baked Crispy Beef and Cheese Tacos are healthier than your typical crunchy taco, and in my opinion tastier too! For one, these crispy tacos are made by baking soft corn tortillas instead of deep frying tortillas or using crunchy taco shells. Soft corn tortilla shells usually have less than a third of the fat found in most crunchy taco shells. I also added in some onion and peppers for extra nutrition, and use extra lean ground beef. But with so much flavor and crunch, you won’t miss any of the fat.

How Do You Make Oven Baked Crispy Beef and Cheese Tacos?

The best part about these tacos is that they are baked instead of fried, so they are healthier than your typical deep fried taco shell. The process to make these oven baked Crispy Beef and Cheese Tacos may seem complicated at first, but I promise it is really quite simple after you do it once. The secret is to gently warm the tortilla shells in just a bit of oil before filling and baking them. This will allow tortillas to soften and become more pliable preventing them from cracking and falling apart. The oil will also ensure the taco shells to get nice and crispy in the oven.
