I've been making these for years! I add lime and salt to the refried beans... it really adds a nice fresh kick... and I have been using the cheesy dorito hard shells for a pop of flavour!

I have been making these for years and they are always a hit. :)

I love double decker tacos, they taste just like the ones you can get from the restaurant.

These were easy to make and my kids loved them!!

These Double Decker Tacos are a Taco Bell copycat recipe. Crunchy tacos are wrapped in a soft flour tortilla with refried beans for the best of both worlds in the form of tacos. Using a homemade taco seasoning mix these tacos are incredibly flavorful and only take 30 minutes to make. Paired with a Chelada, Taco Tuesday never tasted so good!

Double Decker Tacos Recipe

beef turkey chicken

cumin

salt

cayenne pepper

paprika

onion powder

garlic powder

oregano

all-purpose flour

tomato paste

beans

hard-shell tacos (baked in the oven

flour tortillas (slightly warmed)

sour cream

jalapeño pepper

Salsa (of choice)

Mexican cheese

Lime (wedges)

In a medium saucepan or skillet, set over medium heat, add a teaspoon of olive oil. When warm, add the meat, along with all of the spices: cumin, cayenne pepper, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, dried oregano and salt. Break the meat up with a spatula and mix until the spices are evenly distributed throughout.

When the meat begins to brown, depending on the type of meat, you may need to remove any fatty liquid with a spoon (I did this because I used ground beef). Next, add the all-purpose flour and tomato paste; mix and cook for about 5 additional minutes, until the flour is cooked and the meat is completely cooked. Set aside.

To Make the Filling:

Place a tablespoon of refried beans on one side of a flour tortilla and smooth it around. Set a hard shell taco right in the center and wrap the flour tortilla around it. Fill the hard shell taco with a few tablespoons of meat, lettuce, a dollop of sour cream, jalapeños (optional), salsa, cheese and lettuce.

Repeat until you’ve worked your way through all of the hard shell tacos and tortillas. Serve with lime wedges and cold beer.

To assemble the Double-Decker Tacos:

Awesome recipe. I really want to try this the next time I cook something! :)
