Cheesy Double Stacked Tacos for the Table

These cheesy taco shells are especially simple to make and a fun way to spice up taco night! You simply need 3 simple ingredients!

I’ve loved taco bell for as long as I can remember (and I have no shame in it!). One of my regular things to get has always been their double stack tacos!

The cheesy center and crunchy shell are only DEEPLY GOOD and I’m excited to be making them at home.

These taco shells are also truly unfussy to throw together. Let’s go over the steps quickly:

  1. Heat a medium pan over medium-low heat and lightly spray with cooking oil.
  2. Once hot, add in the soft flour tortilla and sprinkle the cheese all over. I like to purposefully let some of the cheese fall over the sides so that I end up with crispy cheese edges (YUM!!).
  3. Put a lid on the skillet so that the cheese melts faster.
  4. Once the cheese is fully melted, add on the crunchy tortilla by placing it on one side and then rolling it towards the other side (see video for reference).

And that’s it! Especially simple but truly a fun way to serve tacos! I used my tofu taco “meat” for mine but obviously you can stuff these with whatever you would like!

As usual, if you end up making this dish, please snap a photo and tag me on Instagram @! I always love to see what y’all are making from my blog.
