Tips Tricks and FAQs
- To quickly heat your tortillas, try placing them in an even layer on a baking sheet and placing them in an oven at 275 degrees for a few minutes. This trick especially works great when you are cooking for a lot of people and need to heat quite a few tortillas!
- Here’s a mom tip! Let your kids assemble their own tacos. I know it sounds crazy, but trust me, it’s the best. The autonomy that they get to use is so good for development and they’re far more likely to try new-looking foods when they put it on their own plate. Of course, use your best judgment, but if your child is old enough to scoop, let them grab their own!
- You can personalize these tacos with any toppings that your family likes. So don’t be afraid to make substitutions. But just be aware if you are logging your weight watchers points that any substitutions may change the nutrition information of these yummy tacos!
Storage
You’ll want to store everything separately for your tacos, so make sure you assemble them as you need them and not all at once!
