Make tacos for a crowd on one baking sheet. This recipe doesn't bake tacos on traditional tortillas, but on a bed of shredded potatoes, which provide a delicious, crispy base for the meat filling and toppings. Store-bought shredded hash brown potatoes are used; they contain less water and develop a fantastic crust when baked. For the filling, brown ground beef with spices, grate plenty of cheese, and prepare classic taco toppings: shredded lettuce, avocado, salsa, sour cream, olives, chili peppers, and hot sauce.

1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until darkened, about 4 minutes. Add the cumin, 2 teaspoons of chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and stir to coat evenly.
  2. Move the beef to the side to create space in the middle of the pan and add the tomato paste. Cook, stirring, until the tomato paste darkens 1-2 shades, about 1 minute, then stir it into the beef. Add 1/2 cup water, bring to a rapid boil, and cook, stirring, until the water has almost completely evaporated, about 2 minutes. Keep warm.

  3. Preheat oven to broil. Spray a 18 x 13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  4. Place the grated potatoes on the prepared baking sheet, toss with 1 teaspoon salt, the remaining 4 tablespoons vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon chili powder, and spread into an even layer. Roast in the oven until golden brown, 8-10 minutes. Stir well with a heatproof spatula, spread into an even layer again, and return the baking sheet to the oven.
  5. Grill until golden brown, another 6-8 minutes. Top with the spiced ground beef, sprinkle with grated cheddar, and grill until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Add your favorite toppings, slice, and serve.
