Notes

For extra crunch, consider placing a layer of shredded cheese in the taco shells before adding the filling. You can also add chopped jalapeños for an extra kick or mix some avocados into your toppings for creaminess. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
