How to make a double decker taco at home:
Ok, let’s get started with how to create this easy taco recipe.
First brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Then mix in the taco seasoning.
While the beef is cooking, heat up the refried beans in the microwave. You can use the stovetop as well but the microwave works great and is easy to do!
After the beef and beans are ready, it’s time to prepare the tacos.
I laid out all the ingredients in my kitchen and had my kids make their own tacos so they could make them exactly the way that they wanted and they loved doing this! It was so much fun.
First, start with a soft tortilla, place approximately 2 Tablespoons of the refried beans in the center of the flour tortilla and spread it out onto the tortilla.
Then place the crunchy taco shell in the center of the flour tortillas.
Next fill the crunch shell with the meat and your favorite taco toppings. We used shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, tomatoes and onions.
My favorite is double decker taco supreme!
Serve and enjoy thisdouble decker taco recipe!
These are not only fun to make but my entire family loved them. They asked that these double decker tacos become a regular menu item in our house!
