EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Mild, medium or hot enchilada sauce varies the flavor—and the heat--of these tacos.

Fill tacos just before serving so the shells stay crisp.

Set out an assortment of taco toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped avocado and sliced olives.

I have made this many times for different gatherings at church, picnics, dinners and for home. It has always been the first thing to go. I have also cooked this in a pot on the stove. This is a staple in our home.
