- Serve and enjoy: Once the taco bake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh chopped green onions or cilantro for a burst of color and flavor. Serve each slice with a dollop of sour cream on the side, and, if desired, a side of extra salsa. This dish is best enjoyed warm, and it pairs wonderfully with a fresh salad or even some chips on the side. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and it reheats beautifully in the microwave or oven.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, you can swap the ground beef for cooked black beans or another plant-based protein, and it will still be delicious.
- If you like more heat, consider adding diced jalapeños to the taco meat or sprinkling some red pepper flakes into the seasoning mix.
- Feel free to customize the toppings based on your preferences. Avocado, shredded lettuce, or diced tomatoes all make excellent additions.
- This recipe can be easily doubled if you are serving a larger crowd. Just use a larger baking dish and increase the amounts of ingredients accordingly.
