I love the double tacos with the soft and hard shells. I wanted to find a way to duplicate them at home.

How To Make double-layer beef tacos

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil; swirl to coat. Add onion; saute 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and jalapeno. Cook until soft.

Step 2

Add chili powder, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Cook for one minute.
Step 3

Add ground beef. Cook until done and drain the grease.
Step 4

Stir in the tomato sauce. Cover, reduce the heat, and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 5

Spread 2 Tbsp beans evenly over 1 side of each flour tortilla; sprinkle each with about 2 Tbsp cheese.
Step 6

Place tortillas on a baking sheet. Broil 2 minutes or until cheese melts.
Step 7

Carefully wrap 1 tortilla around 1 hard taco shell, pressing gently until cheese sticks to the shell. Repeat the procedure with the remaining tortillas and shells.
Step 8

Spoon about 1/4 cup beef mixture into each shell.
Step 9

Top each with 2 Tbsp lettuce, 2 Tbsp tomato, 1 Tbsp sour cream, and a sprinkle of avocado.
