    One thing about corn tortillas, the work better warm so microwave them for 30 seconds to turn them soft first then they’ll be much easier to fold and stay down!

      I agree. I make baked tacos several times a month - another thing I do - I place an empty cookie sheet over the folded tacos - helps with browning and keeping them flat. The potatoes looked fabulous!

    When I do homemade taco seasoning I stir in a teaspoon or two of arrow root (you can also use cornstarch) into 1/4 cup water and pour it over the meat once it's mostly done and let it cook and thicken for minute or two. Store bought usually has a thickener in it and you usually add water to it. That's why it's saucy.

  • @22lilacsky

    One thing I do is mix sour cream and salsa together and layer that on the tortillas first, it helps it to stick and ups the flavor big time. I used that for chicken quesadillas too. So yummy 😋🤤

    When you use the Taco Seasoning you have to add some water like 1/2 cup and simmer for a few minutes to not make the taco mixture to dry.

  • @elenacala

    I reccomend heating the corn tortillas in a small amount of oil for 15 seconds on each side and that will keep them from falling apart. Then if baking them I would have filled them and folded them over and pot another cookie sheet on top to help crisp both sides at once and keep them closed too. If corn tortillas aren't warmed enough they are a pain!!!

    Use a toothpick to hold tortillas shut. I do a baked taco and I stand mine up and wedge them in the baking pan as I make them, much less messy than laying them down.

    Your family eats such a small amount. My husband and all 3 of my children as well as myself eat at least 2 hamburgers each and when the boys became teenagers they ate 3. With the chicken legs I can eat 4 or 5 by myself as well as the kids could too with sides. I’m glad that my children are all grown because I would hate to see my grocery bill with the prices today. We are not really big people although both of the boys are over 6’ and my daughter is 5’11”. But no one has a weight problem but we all have big appetites but so does the rest of the family. My sister in law cooks a lot of food for each meal even though it’s only 3 of them at home but my nephew eats a lot. He’s 6’ 9” but only weighs 175lbs. but he eats huge amounts about every 3-4 hours.

      It's called Rico's and it's in the red can. I find it at Walmart. It's not the cheap plastic nacho cheese sauce, it's actually cheese and creamy and the flavor is as good as if you had the best nacho cheese sauce recipe only no extra work. It's not really spicy, I add jalapenos for that. Not Kristen but hope that helps :)
