Get some of those anchors that you beat into the concrete with a hammer. I
don't know what they're called, but they have a lead body split in half, and
a nail sticking out of the top. You slide it into the hole and beat the nail
down. This spreads the lead body and anchors it firmly into the concrete.

Like the others though, I see no reason to not trust TapCons or similar
concrete screws.

Rawl calls them Zamac Nail-Ins. Their holding strength is incredible
when they're used correctly, but the OP says he already has the holes
drilled.

For that, you can go with a lag shield.
