Oven-baked tacos are a game-changer for anyone who’s tired of the “falling apart” taco syndrome. By baking the shells with the meat and cheese already inside, the cheese acts as a delicious glue, and the shells get extra crispy without shattering the moment you take a bite.
This method also allows you to serve a dozen people at once rather than making them one by one!
