Introduction To Baked Tacos#

Well, butter my biscuit and call me a foodie! If you're as crazy about tacos as my Aunt Mabel is about her collection of Elvis Presley memorabilia, then you're in for a treat that's as American as apple pie. We're talking about a culinary mash-up that'll make your taste buds sing: Philly Cheesesteak Baked Tacos. 🌮

Now, gather 'round, folks, 'cause today I'm gonna share with you my top-secret, not-so-secret-anymore recipe for these cheesy, beefy wonders. So, roll up your sleeves and let's dive in!

The Perfect Cut Of Beef#

Oh, the meat of the matter! Let's chat about the heart and soul of our Philly Cheesesteak Baked Tacos—the beef. You can't just throw any old cut of meat into these bad boys and call it a day. Heck no!

Top Choices for Beef Cuts

When it comes to choosing the beef, you gotta be pickier than my Uncle Bob at a yard sale. Here's the rundown:

Cheese Wiz Or Provolone#

Cheese, oh glorious cheese! 🧀 Now, here's where things can get a bit... controversial. Some folks swear by Cheese Wiz for their Philly cheesesteaks, while others would sooner eat their hat than forsake Provolone. And you know what? They're both right!

The Great Cheese Debate

So, let's settle this once and for all, shall we? The cheese you use in your baked tacos can make or break the dish, so choose wisely, my friends. Here's my two cents on the matter:

Assembling Your Baked Tacos#

All right, we've got our beef sliced thinner than my patience on a Monday morning, and our cheese selected with the precision of a cat stalking its prey. Now it's time to assemble these golden goodies. 🌮

But before we get our hands dirty, here's a pro tip: arrange your workspace like you're setting up a pit crew at the Daytona 500. Efficiency is key!

Crack open those taco shells and line 'em up like soldiers.
Spoon in that sizzling, mouthwatering beef.
Drizzle or layer your chosen cheese with the finesse of a French painter.
Pop them in the oven and bake until they're bubblier than a cheerleader at a pep rally.

And there you have it, folks, the makings of a true culinary masterpiece!

The Perfect Side Dishes#

Lemme tell you, no meal is complete without the supporting cast—the side dishes. And with our Philly Cheesesteak Baked Tacos, we need sides that complement, not compete. 🥗

Complementary Sides

Here's the scoop on what to serve up with your baked tacos:

Crisp French Fries:: Nothing beats the classic. Serve 'em hot and maybe even a little seasoned!
Coleslaw:: For that refreshing crunch.
Pickled Veggies:: To cut through the richness with some tang.

Choose one, choose all, but for heaven's sake, choose something! Your stomach will thank you.

Serving And Presentation Tips#

It's showtime! You didn't go through all that slaving over a hot stove to just plop these beauties onto a plate like it's Tuesday night meatloaf, did ya? 🍽️

Plating Your Masterpiece

Grab your fanciest dishware, folks, we're about to get classy with our presentation.

Start with a clean, wide plate to give each taco its moment in the spotlight.
Strategically place your sides for maximum visual appeal.
Garnish with a sprinkle of parsley or cilantro if you're feeling extra.

Remember, we eat with our eyes first, so make it look as good as it tastes!

Philly Cheesesteak Tacos Baking Ingredients

01 1 pound thinly sliced sirloin steak (ground beef is also a good substitute).

02 1 diced green bell pepper.

03 1 small diced yellow onion.

04 8 ounces sliced mushrooms.

05 3 tablespoons olive oil, split.

06 4 ounces cream cheese.

07 10 ounces provolone cheese.

08 10 to 12 hard shell tacos (flat bottom preferred).

Philly Cheesesteak Tacos Baking Step By Step

Step 01

Start your culinary adventure by warming your oven to a cozy 350 degrees. Then, lovingly grease your 9 by 13 baking dish like you're painting a Monet and pop it to the side.

Step 02

Grab a large skillet and let those 2 tablespoons of olive oil dance over medium heat. Toss in the bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms for a party until they're as tender as a love song - about 5 to 7 minutes. Escort them out of the skillet and give them a break.

Step 03

Invite the sirloin slices to the skillet soiree, shake some salt and pepper on it like you're seasoning your life, and cook until it's as brown as a beach tan (about 5 minutes).

Step 04

After you've stopped the grease pool party with a drain, reunite the veggies with the meat, and let the cream cheese crash the gathering. Stir until the cheese is as melted as your heart watching a puppy video.

Step 05

Coax your taco shells into the greased baking dish, fill them with the steak and veggie mix with the grace of a ballet dancer, crown each with provolone, and bake until the cheese is bubblier than your personality - 10 to 15 minutes.
