Double Decker Tacos

Double-decker tacos were first introduced by the American franchise Taco Bell in 1995. They layered a soft tortilla smeared with refried beans with a hard-shell taco filled with fried ground beef, lettuce, crema, and cheese. The double layers made these tacos more sturdy and filling. We believe that the original idea for these types of tacos originated in authentic Mexican taquerias, where they layer two corn tortillas and then top them with grilled steak or pastor meat. This makes the taco more resistant when you add salsa, cilantro-onion mix, and lime juice. This recipe is for those who love Taco Bell and are looking for a quick and easy meal to make on busy weeknights. Double-decker tacos offer the best of both worlds: a soft, fluffy wheat tortilla and the crunchy texture and corn-like taste characteristic of hard shell tacos. For our recipe, we fry ground beef with a generous amount of Gran Luchito BBQ Ancho Fajita & Taco Mix for a deliciously smoky and spicy flavour. For a leaner version, you can substitute with ground turkey. Need more inspiration?
