How to Make It
Alright, my food-loving companions, set the table and grab a pan because this is a ride even if you’re still in your PJs. Start by warming up your tortillas in a skillet — no judgment if you’ve forgotten about them until the edges curl up a bit. Pop some cheese on there and let it melt like magic. Toss in whatever taco filling you have handy. I’ve done this with everything from classic taco meat to leftover chicken that needed a new lease on life. Get fancy with toppings or not — it’s your taco experience. Fold those babies up, give them a little pep talk to stay put, and get ‘em in your mouth before the kids see them all finished on the table.
Ingredient Notes
– Tortillas: The hero of the dish. Don’t stress if they look too crispy — crunchy is a style!
– Cheese: Don’t skimp here. Melty cheese makes everything better including breakout bad days.
– Filling: Ground beef, chicken, beans, or hey, Avocado has saved me when the fridge looked bare.
Recipe Steps:
1. Heat tortillas in a skillet until slightly crispy.
2. Sprinkle cheese on the warm tortillas until it starts to melt.
3. Add your choice of filling, taco meat, chicken, or veggies.
4. Fold the tortillas, press lightly, and cook until the cheese is fully melted.
5. Serve with your favorite toppings!

Tips & Mistakes
– Don’t forget about the skillet on the stove while you Instagram your creation. (Don’t ask why I know this.)
– When it comes to toppings, more is more. Pile them high!
Storage Tips
Okay, not like many leftovers survive ‘round here, but if they do, pop them in an airtight container and stash in the fridge. Cold mini tacos still taste great – and dare I say, fantastic for breakfast? Zero judgments here, you do you!
Variations and Substitutions
I’ll be honest, I’ve tried swapping taco meat with whatever was lying around. Fall short on cheese? A sprinkle of nutritional yeast and that taco’s still good to go. Have fun with it, even if it means skipping something and just hoping for the best. Haven’t we all been there?
