Quick Tips

  • The Time-Saver: Prepare the meat mixture the night before, grate your cheese and chop the toppings. Before supper, warm meat in a hot pan on the stove for a few minutes. Warm the taco shells in the oven.
  • For Younger Kids: break the taco shell in half and let them top it like a pizza. Set the table with a fork so those bits that fall off are gobbled up too!
