Notes

To freeze: Only use meat and cheese as the toppings.  Be sure meat is almost room temperature before you assemble the tacos. 

Assemble just like above, then place seam side down on a parchment lined baking sheet. 

Place in the freezer for 2 hours. 

Transfer to a freezer safe container or Ziploc.  Store for up to 2 months. 

to reheat-

Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and place in the oven at 350f for 12-15 minutes until cooked through. 

You can also use an air fryer at 360f for 10-12 minutes until cooked through. 

If you want to make things easy, I love Siete Taco seasoning... you can use that instead of homemade.
