Creating Crispy Baked Ground Beef Tacos involves straightforward steps that anyone can follow:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Cook Beef: In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary.
3. Add Seasoning: Stir in the taco seasoning and follow package instructions, typically adding water and allowing it to simmer for a few minutes.
4. Prepare Shells: Lightly spray a muffin tin with cooking spray. Take each tortilla and mold it into the shape of a taco shell in the muffin tin.
5. Fill Shells: Spoon the seasoned ground beef mixture evenly into each tortilla shell.
6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the beef in each taco shell.
7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the shells are crispy and the cheese is melted.
8. Cool Slightly: Once baked, allow the taco shells to cool for a few minutes in the muffin tin for easier removal.
9. Serve: Gently lift the taco shells from the muffin tin. They are now ready to be filled with fresh toppings.
10. Customize: Add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, and salsa as desired before serving.
