Notes
- Drain the fat - you want to make sure to drain the grease thoroughly to keep the tortilla crust from getting soggy.
- Wait to slice - waiting 5-10 minutes after it comes out of the oven will allow the layers to set, so you will get the perfect wedge when you cut it.
- Create a Topping Bar - I like to put the cold toppings (like lettuce, sour cream, guacamole in bowls on the table so everyone can add what they love. This also helps with reheating.
- Easy to Double - You can double this recipe easily to divide among two pie plates. This recipe freezes well, and you have dinner for later.
- Make your own taco seasoning - Skip the store-bought packets and make your own taco seasoning at home. It lets you control the spice and salt levels and is great to keep on hand.
