Double Decker Tacos Recipe

double decker tacos
This is a great tasting recipe for double decker tacos, just like the ones from Taco Bell—only better! A double decker taco is a flour tortilla covered with a refried bean spread and then wrapped around a hard-shell taco. The taco is loaded with ingredients such as taco meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and cilantro. Many additional ingredients can be added as well such as sour cream and salsa. The taco meat gets a lot of its flavor from seasonings such as chili powder and cumin. Even more flavor is added to the taco meat with tomato sauce and fresh lime juice. Enjoy.
