Baked Crunchy Taco Casserole

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef or turkey
• 1 (14.5 oz) can petite diced tomatoes, drained
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend, divided
• 1/4 cup salsa
• 12 crunchy taco shells
• Shredded lettuce, tomatoes, cilantro, sour cream, guacamole, lime juice to top

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Brown and drain meat. Stir tomatoes, seasoning, 1/2 cup cheese, and salsa into meat.

Arrange taco shells standing up in a greased 9 x 13 inch pan. Fill each shell with the meat mixture, dividing equally until all the meat is used.

Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup of cheese over the tops of the filled tacos and bake for 15-20 minutes. Cheese will be melted and the meat hot.

Top with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, cilantro, sour cream, guacamole and lime juice.
