Baked Tacos Are Crunchy Delights That Cook in 12 Minutes

Baked tacos are a viral food trend we love as they're simple to make yet give our favorite savory treat a twist. This dish involves filling tortillas with a meat mixture and cheese before folding them in half, like a quesadilla, and baking them. The result is a batch of crunchy and cheesy tacos that bake as fast as 12 minutes — and will earn raves during taco night.
