Notes
Extra Notes: Toast in the pan on medium heat for a couple of minutes on each side with cooking spray, flipping frequently to avoid burning.
Storage & Heating: These tacos are best enjoyed fresh. If storing, allow to cool, wrap in foil and store in the fridge for up to a week. To reheat, remove the foil and air-fry or toast in the pan for a couple of minutes to get them crispy and hot.
