Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Double Decker Tacos Delight.
Step 1
Start by heating a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Step 2
As the meat sizzles, sprinkle about three-quarters of the taco seasoning over it, stirring occasionally until the beef is browned and crumbly, which should take around 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 3
Once cooked, drain any excess grease to keep your tacos from getting soggy.
Step 4
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, mix the refried beans with a splash of water and the remaining taco seasoning.
Step 5
Heat this mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally until it’s nice and warm and just starting to simmer.
Step 6
While that’s happening, preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Step 7
Arrange your crisp taco shells on a baking sheet and pop them in the oven for about 3 to 5 minutes to warm them up perfectly.
Step 8
Now, let’s whip up some guacamole! In a bowl, peel and mash the avocados until creamy.
Step 9
Stir in a tablespoon of sour cream, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 10
Set this delicious mixture aside for later.
Step 11
To assemble your tacos, take a warm flour tortilla and spread about two tablespoons of the heated refried beans on it.
Step 12
Gently wrap the tortilla around a crisp taco shell, creating a delightful little pocket.
Step 13
Next, fill that crispy shell with about two tablespoons of the seasoned ground beef, followed by a generous sprinkle of shredded Cheddar cheese.
Step 14
Top it off with a handful of shredded lettuce, some chopped tomatoes, and a bit of red onion for that extra crunch.
Step 15
Finally, add a dollop of sour cream and a spoonful of your homemade guacamole to elevate your taco experience.
Step 16
Enjoy every bite of your delicious creation!.
