Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas. Corn tortillas are the traditional choice for taco bakes, but you can also use flour tortillas if you prefer. If you're using corn tortillas, be sure to soften them in a damp paper towel before assembling the bake.
  • Use a variety of fillings. The great thing about taco bakes is that you can use whatever fillings you like. Some popular options include ground beef, shredded chicken, or tofu. You can also add vegetables, beans, and cheese.
  • Don't overcook the bake. Taco bakes are best when they are cooked just until the cheese is melted and the filling is heated through. Overcooking can make the tortillas dry and tough.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings. Taco bakes are delicious served with a variety of toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and shredded lettuce.
