Best Double Decker Tacos Recipes

DOUBLE DECKER TACOS

Steps:

• Place the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, and sprinkle about 3/4 of the packet of taco seasoning over the meat. Cook and stir the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks, until the beef is browned and crumbly, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the excess grease.
• Mash the refried beans with the water in a small saucepan, and sprinkle with the rest of the seasoning packet. Heat the refried beans over low heat until simmering.
• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Place the crisp taco shells on a baking sheet, and warm them in the preheated oven for 3 to 5 minutes.
• To make the guacamole, peel, seed, and mash the avocados in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of sour cream, the lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.
• To build the tacos, spread each flour tortilla with about 2 tablespoons of heated refried beans. Wrap the tortilla gently around a crisp tortilla shell. Spread about 2 tablespoons of ground beef along the bottom of the crisp shell, and sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded Cheddar cheese on top of the meat. Top the cheese with shredded lettuce, a sprinkle of chopped tomato and onion, and a dollop of sour cream and guacamole.

DOUBLE DECKER TACOS

Steps:

• Brown ground beef.
• Drain.
• Add taco seasoning according to packet directions.
• While beef is simmering put refried beans in a small sauce pan to warm over low heat. May need to add 1-2 tablespoons of water to the beans to thin them out a bit.
• Warm soft tortillas in a dry skillet over low to medium heat. You don't want to brown or crisp them at all. Just warm them on both sides so that they are pliable.
• Keep tortillas warm in foil. These can be placed in a warm oven if needed.
• Assemble the tacos:.
• Spread warm beans on a warm flour tortilla (Like spreading pizza sauce on pizza dough).
• Sprinkle beans with shredded cheese.
• Stand a taco shell in the center of tortilla spread with beans and cheese.
• Gently press the soft tortilla onto the sides of the taco shell.
• Fill taco shell with beef, more shredded cheese, shredded lettuce and salsa.
• *variation* if you prefer not to use refried beans just use all cheese to "glue the soft tortilla to the taco shell. If you choose this option just cover the tortilla with a layer of shredded cheese while warming in skillet. As soon as the cheese is melted remove from skillet and place your taco shell in the middle, quickly folding up the sides so they stick to the taco shell. Fill taco and enjoy!

DOUBLE DECKER FISH TACOS

Steps:

• Mix the fish sauce ingredients in a bowl, cover and refrigerate till needed. Cut up the tomato(s) and set aside on a small plate. (I don't bother with peeling and seeding the tomatoes).
• In a bowl, mix together the 1½ Tbs lime juice, 2 Tbs olive oil and 2 tsp of minced jalapeno pepper. Rinse the fish under cold water, pat dry, place in the bowl and toss to coat, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate till the grill is hot.
• Heat a gas grill or a charcoal grill to medium-high heat.
• Scrape off any jalapeno particles from the fish and lightly sprinkle chili powder on both sides of the fish, if you wish. Oil the grill grate and grill the fish over medium-high heat till the fish flakes easily, turning after 4 minutes, about 10 minutes total cooking time. Cut the fish into 8 equal portions, wrap in foil and keep warm in a preheated oven set to 170°F.
• Warm each flour tortilla on the grill till soft, wrap in foil and keep warm in the oven. Make a fluid assembly line of the ingredients: taco shells, fish, sauce, coleslaw, tomatoes, tortillas and refried beans. Ready a large platter and a roll of aluminum foil, place a portion of fish into a crispy taco shell, top with some sauce, coleslaw mix, tomatoes and optional cucumber slivers. Place on the platter. Repeat with the remaining crispy taco shells. Now smear some warm black refried beans onto a flour tortilla and wrap it around one of the tacos. Wrap each double-decker taco in foil so to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and tacos.
• Serve with lime wedges, corn on the cob and a cold fruit salad on the side. Serve beer and/or fruit daiquiris as beverages.
• * TIP: Place the interior side of the cut jalapeno peppers facing down on the cutting board when mincing them so to prevent squirts of jalapeno juice striking you in the face. NEVER touch your face while dealing with jalapenos. Wash your hands thoroughly after handling jalapenos. It's no fun getting jalapeno juice in your eyes.

Open the can of Dr Pepper and nestle it in the center of the roasting pan. Stand the chicken upright on the can and roast in the center of the oven for about 30 minutes, until lightly browned. Reduce the oven temperature to 325° and roast the chicken for about 45 minutes longer, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the inner thigh registers 155° and the vegetables are tender. Let rest for 15 minutes, then transfer the chicken to a carving board. Discard the soda. Remove the meat and skin from the chicken and shred. Add the shredded chicken and skin to the roasting pan and toss with the vegetables. Cover with foil and keep warm. Make the tacos In a medium skillet, heat 1/4 cup of canola oil until shimmering.
