On certain days we need to be able to make a quick and easy meal. This can also be prepared ahead of time so you only need to do the baking in the oven and serve a meal!
On August 2, I did think about making a photo once they came out of the oven!
I did use ready made Trader Joe's Taco Shells (box) from yellow corn.
Also the 90% lean ground beef I got at Trader Joe's.
The recipe you can find here: Oven Baked Tacos just click.
I've also found it real easy for using just red beans and did run them through my small Braun blender.
Yeah on July 19, I'd taken this photo but forgot to take one when they came out of the oven...
These are the ones from August 2nd before they went into the oven...
Next time, I have these Stainless Steel Taco Holders for easier filling.
Found them on Amazon....
First time using them and they work fabulous!
Found them on Amazon....
Just a listing of the main ingredients...
Great when served with a salad on the side!

Thank you for your visit!
Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeletehmmmm, yummmi! Those Taccos look so delicious, I could eat one right now in the early morning :O)))
The Tacco holder looks great too! A very good helper!
Wishing you a lovely and happy week,
sending much Love and hugs, Claudia xo
Dearest Claudia,
DeleteYes, these Tacos are really great tasting and served with a salad they make for an easy supper.
Next time I will use these new Taco holders!
Hugs and happy weekend,
Mariette
Hello Mariette, Where would be be without our go-to meals? In these hot days my favorite is sesame (cold) noodles, which can be as simple or elaborate as you like. It is soothing to eat something cool when the weather is warm.
ReplyDelete--Jim
Dearest Jim,
DeleteYes, we all have a kind of list with special meals for certain seasons.
Your cold sesame noodles would be a favorite for me and very healthy as well!
We are now getting slowly into the season where a hot meal is appreciated again.
Hugs,
Mariette
Tomorrow I am meeting friends at a new place that has a vegan menu and I am very much looking forward to trying their portobello tacos. Yummy! Hope all is well with you. Happy October!
ReplyDeleteDearest Tammy,
DeleteAnxious to hear about your Portobello Taco experience. If those Portobello mushrooms are firm and fresh they no doubt are good. Not if they are very mushy and with dark (old) spores...
Yes, all is well with us, only rather hectic. We just got back from our trip to the Rocky Mountains and I'm tutoring a student at our Technical College...
Hugs,
Mariette
They look delicious - I have not made tacos for ages, but you have now reminded me to give them a try again. Many in my family are vegetarian so they make a good choice when making a meal suitable for all by simply varying the fillings.
ReplyDeleteDearest Rosemary,
DeleteIndeed, you are able to adapt the fillings by using a meat substitute. To me it is just a practical and healthy meal to prepare.
Hugs,
Mariette
Oh yum! Your oven baked taco looks soooo good! I don't eat taco often but I do love Mexican food. Burritos--mmm :-)
ReplyDeleteDearest Tamago,
DeleteSure, when you write about Burritos and Mexican food in general, I do fondly remember our times working in Mexico where we always enjoyed their food!
Hugs,
Mariette
This is easy, but i don't; have that stand.. I need to find out some improvisation :)
ReplyDeleteDearest Krishna,
DeleteSo far I've not even used my new stand and it still worked. They easily slide 'flat' but other than that it is no problem!
We all are not professionals that serve at a Michelin star restaurant so it is not 'that' important!
Hugs,
Mariette
Oh Tacos muß ich auch mal wieder machen, liebe Mariette. Wir hatten früher auch ein Spezialrezept, als meine Kinder noch Kinder waren. Muß direkt mal danach suchen. Habe übrigens meinen Herz- und Leben-Blog wieder aktiviert. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLiebe Grüße
Sara
Liebe Sara,
DeleteJa, so wird man öfters irgendwie an etwas erinnert was wir lange nicht getan haben!
Dienen 2ten Blog habe ich mittlerweile schon wieder besucht.
Liebe Grüße,
Mariette
Hello dear Mariette!
ReplyDeleteWow! Your tacos,really looks so yummy and delicious!
Thank you for sharing the recipe! Have a blessed October! Hugs!
Dimi...
Dearest Dimi,
DeleteGuess we all know several recipes of easy to prepare comfort food!
October has started out lovely here, still nice sunny weather.
Hugs,
Mariette
I like tacos but haven't eaten them in ages. The taco stands are very handy to serve them. Thanks Mariette and have a great week.
ReplyDeleteDearest Sami,
DeleteOf course around here we find many Mexican restaurant where they are also being served. But these are special in the ready made yellow corn shells. Love them more than the flour ones.
Hugs,
Mariette
Now you hit a recipe I will definitely make as I love Mexican food ... at home and in a restaurant! This is quick.
ReplyDeleteDearest Debbie,
DeleteYes, it is quick and easy to make.
Enjoy eating your Mexican food, we always loved it!
Hugs,
Mariette
I should also mention that I make my own easy taco mix: https://thesavvvyshopper.blogspot.com/search?q=taco+
ReplyDeleteAs well as Cajun and Greek. Latey I leave out the salt when making the mixes (which is needed). The reason I omit salt is I can adjust the amount of salt to a recipe by adding it separately and no longer worry about oversalting when adding lots of spice to a particularly dish.
Dearest Debbie,
DeleteThank you so very much for your link to some great Taco spice to make your own!
I've added it to my blogpost already.
Due to my advanced CKD I have to omit the salt so I love to experiment with spices.
Hugs,
Mariette
Hello dear Mariette.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that it is very good !
Hugs
Dearest Nathalie,
DeleteYes, it is simple and good!
Hugs,
Mariette
