Topsy Turvy Tacos

I saw a photograph of hard shell tacos in an enchilada sauce.  I love Mexican food, but I'm not a fan of enchiladas, so, I improvised.   This delightful dish is perfect for reheat and keeps the shells from breaking on first bite!
1 package tortilla shells 
1 pound ground beef, deer, or turkey
1 1/2 tsp cumin
1 can pinto beans
2 cans diced tomatoes with jalapenos and cilantro
1 cup shredded cheese

"taco fixins"
lettuce, sour cream, onions, avocados, more grated cheese  . . . use your imagination!

Brown ground meat, add beans and cumin.  Empty both cans of diced tomatoes in 9 X 13 pan.  Place one spoon full of meat and bean mixture in shell.  Set filled shells in 9 X 13 pan.  All 12 will fit.  Bake 20 minutes @ 350°.  Increase temp to 390°, add shredded cheese and chopped onion, bake 10 minutes.  Remove from oven and "dress" with "taco fixins."
