Double Decker Tacos

Double-decker tacos were first introduced by the American franchise Taco Bell in 1995. They layered a soft tortilla smeared with refried beans with a hard-shell taco filled with fried ground beef, lettuce, crema, and cheese. The double layers made these tacos more sturdy and filling.

We believe that the original idea for these types of tacos originated in authentic Mexican taquerias, where they layer two corn tortillas and then top them with grilled steak or pastor meat. This makes the taco more resistant when you add salsa, cilantro-onion mix, and lime juice.

This recipe is for those who love Taco Bell and are looking for a quick and easy meal to make on busy weeknights. Double-decker tacos offer the best of both worlds: a soft, fluffy wheat tortilla and the crunchy texture and corn-like taste characteristic of hard shell tacos.

For our recipe, we fry ground beef with a generous amount of Gran Luchito BBQ Ancho Fajita & Taco Mix for a deliciously smoky and spicy flavour. For a leaner version, you can substitute with ground turkey.

Here are our top tips when making double-decker tacos:

  • Double-decker tacos are best when served freshly made, so make sure to serve them immediately once they are ready.
  • Try not to overfill your tacos, as this would make them more difficult to eat.
  • Don’t forget that it’s important to use a soft wheat tortilla and a hard shell taco in order to get the best results

How to make it

  1. To prepare your filling, heat up a frying pan over medium heat with the olive oil. Once it is hot enough, add the onion and let it soften for a couple of minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the minced beef and, using a wooden spoon, break the meat into the pan. Add the BBQ Ancho Fajita & Taco Mix, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Let the meat brown for 5 to 6 minutes. Finally, pour in the orange juice and cook until the juice caramelises and coats the meat, adding colour and flavour.
  2. Open the packet of Hard Shell Tacos and place 6 taco shells on a baking tray. Place them in the oven for 3 to 4 minutes.
  3. In the meantime, warm up half a packet of Refried Beans in a small saucepan over low heat. Add a little splash of water to thin them out slightly.
  4. In a warm non-stick pan, heat up 6 Soft Taco Wraps. Get the garnishes ready on the side and remove the baked taco shells from the oven.
  5. Place the warm soft tacos over a clean surface. Add a spoonful of refried beans to each tortilla and spread them around. Place a baked taco shell on top of each soft taco and beans and wrap it around it, creating a double-layer taco.
  6. Now, add two spoonfuls of the fried meat to each taco. Top them with the Mexican slaw or shredded lettuce, a drizzle of sour cream, a sprinkle of feta cheese, and a bit of coriander. Serve with Gran Luchito Salsas on the side. Enjoy!
