Best.Tacos.Ever

This recipe has become a family favorite and the only way the kids ask for tacos.  They are really good and if you have a smaller family (4), cut the recipe in half. (This recipe makes 8-10 servings) They don't make the best leftovers because reheating the taco shells the next day does not work.  However I have started scooping out the filling and storing that in the fridge and tossing the taco shells.  The kids reheat the beef mixture and put it on potatoes, tortilla chips or in wraps. 

1 LB ground beef  or 2 LB ground beef
2 cans refried beans or 1 can refried beans
1 small diced onion
1 small can green chilies
3/4 Cup salsa
Taco seasoning (I use my homemade seasoning)
2 Cups shredded Colby-Jack Cheese (I use the Mexican blend from Aldi)
18-20 Hard Shell Tacos


Preheat oven to 375. Brown ground beef and diced onion over medium-high heat. Drain excess liquid. Add refried beans, salsa, chilies and taco seasoning. Mix well.  Spoon mixture into the taco shells and place in a 9x13 baking dish standing tacos up. Sprinkle cheese over the top of the tacos. (I always push some down inside the shells as well.) Place in oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until cheese is melted. 

Serve with your choice of condiments.
