Sheet Pan Tacos offer an easy, delicious, and hands-off way to enjoy classic taco flavors with minimal cleanup. Ground beef is seasoned and cooked on the stovetop, then combined with onions, salsa, and taco seasoning before being spooned onto tortillas. The filled tortillas are baked on a sheet pan until crispy and golden, making a perfect meal for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 6-inch tortillas
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped
  • 1–2 Tablespoons taco seasoning, or more to taste
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup salsa
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Cook Ground Beef: In a medium-sized skillet over medium heat, brown 1 pound of ground beef along with 1/2 cup of chopped onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste as you cook. Stir occasionally until the beef is fully cooked and onions are softened.
  3. Season Beef: Drain excess fat from the skillet, then add 1 to 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of salsa to the beef mixture. Stir thoroughly to combine and heat through for a couple more minutes to meld the flavors.
  4. Prepare Tortillas: Lightly spray or brush olive oil on both sides of each tortilla. Arrange the tortillas evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Fill Tortillas: Spoon about 1/4 cup of the seasoned taco meat onto one half of each tortilla. Sprinkle approximately 1 tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese over the meat if desired. Then fold each tortilla in half to create taco shapes.
  6. Bake Tacos: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the tacos for 10 minutes. After this initial baking, carefully flip each taco with a spatula and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until the tortillas are crispy and golden brown, and the cheese is melted.

Notes

  • Use flour or corn tortillas depending on your preference; both work well for baking.
  • Adjust the amount of taco seasoning to your taste, adding a little more for spicier tacos.
  • For extra flavor, add toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, or chopped cilantro after baking.
  • Make sure to flip the tacos midway through baking to ensure even crispiness on both sides.
  • Leftover tacos can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
