Mexican-Style Baked Tacos
Published: Saturday, December 31, 2022
A delicious Mexican-style dish that is easy to make and sure to please the whole family!
I first had Mexican-style baked tacos when I visited my aunt in Mexico City. She served them to me with a side of refried beans and a cold glass of horchata. The combination of the crunchy tacos, melted cheese, and flavorful salsa was amazing! I knew I had to recreate this dish at home and have been making it ever since. It's always a hit with my family and friends when I serve it.
