Notes

Feel free to swap meats—ground turkey, chicken sausage, or even veggie sausage work great!
Use soft tortillas and pan-fry if you want a quesadilla-style taco instead.
Add a kick with jalapeños or hot sauce for spice lovers.

Make it kid-friendly by letting everyone customize their own taco before baking!
