If you’re a fan of cheese, you'll love these tasty Cheesy Baked Tacos, made with cheddar.
This easy homemade taco recipe is an excellent alternative to store-bought hard-shell tacos.
All you do is place shredded cheddar onto a baking sheet and bake in discs until they are bubbly and golden!
Top the crispy cheesy tacos with a seasoned ground beef, creamy guacamole, sour cream, and chopped green onion for an impressive snack or appetizer.
You can even make a big platter for Taco Tuesday and let everyone top their own.
