Notes
- Preventing soggy taco shells — Keep taco shells crispy by drying them well before filling. A quick oven bake helps, but watch for browning
- Best practices for frying — Heat the oil right for frying. Test with a small dough piece. If it bubbles, the oil is ready
- Prep techniques — Use pre-chopped veggies and marinated proteins to save time. This adds flavor easily
- Experiment with flavors — Try different spice mixes in the filling. Unique flavors can make your dish stand out
- Serving tips — Offer various dips like sweet chili sauce or lime crema. This adds a new flavor layer that wows guests
