Chef's Tips
- Protein Swap: Substitute ground beef with ground turkey, chicken, or plant-based crumbles for a lighter option.
- Extra Crunch: Lightly toast the mini taco shells in the oven for a crispier texture.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the beef filling in advance and reheat when ready to assemble.
- Toppings Variety: Add avocado, pickled jalapeños, or black beans for extra flavor and texture.
- Serving Tip: Serve on a platter with small bowls of toppings for a fun DIY taco bar experience.
