double decker tacos

One of my favorite fast food places back in my early years was Taco Bell. Their Double Decker Tacos, Crunchwrap Supreme, and Gorditas were my go-to favorites. I was making tacos and my sister was over and gave me the idea to turn my basic tacos into a cleaned-up double-decker taco.

The original taco bell version had refried beans holding the hard and crunchy tacos together. But to keep this grain-free, we opted for using the Siete Cashew Queso. If you haven’t tried their queso yet, you’re seriously missing out because it’s so darn good.

What I love about this recipe is it’s incredibly delicious and not difficult at all to whip up. It just takes your tacos up a notch. I’m so glad my sister was over and recommended we did this recipe. We both looked at each other after one bite and said: “This is a weekly rotation!” Don’t believe me? Give them a try and you’ll see just how good it is.

So here you have it, my Cleaned-Up Double-Decker Tacos! If you haven’t noticed already, I’m obsessed with all things Siete puts on the market. So good and much cleaner and healthier alternatives to regular food staples.
