These easy ground beef sheet pan tacos are baked in the oven for a crispy, cheesy, and easy weeknight dinner. Are you like me, where you make tacos and by the time you put them together, the shells or refried beans are already cold? I'm going to share with you my absolutely new favorite way to make tacos.  I have tried making tacos before where you add the uncooked meat on one side of the tortilla and then cook it and, let me tell you, it did not work out.
