TIPS

Have trouble holding taco shells steady while filling them? - Place the shells between the cups of an inverted muffin pan – they are a snap to fill!   Can do 6 tacos at a time with a 12 cup muffin pan. 

Don’t want to turn on oven or heating leftover tacos?
 -  Fill shells with beef mixture, cover with wax paper or paper towel (to prevent splatters) and microwave on medium for 15-30 seconds per taco, until heated through.
