If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place a portion on a microwave-safe plate and heat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also reheat it in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until hot.
Helpful Notes
For a spicier version, add some chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the ground beef mixture. You can also use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a lighter option. According to culinary experts, letting the taco bake cool for a few minutes before slicing helps it hold its shape better when served. Additionally, using freshly shredded cheese instead of pre-shredded cheese can result in a creamier melt.
