Double Decker Taco
IF you were wondering what to do with all those Refried Beans we are hoping you have already made, this is it...Double Decker Tacos, they are totally a thing. I LOVE them. They are crunchy, but easier to eat than a straight taco as the flour tortilla holds it all in for easier eating. Taco wrangling aside, this recipe is sure to be a hit with all the family. Add anything or everything that makes you feel the taco love.
Enjoy.

The quinoa portion of this recipe makes A LOT! I like to make a large batch of the quinoa filling because I can freeze and use it at a later date for other things like on salads, wraps, loaded sweet potatoes, buddha bowls or even more tacos.. the possibilities are endless!
To Assemble your double decker taco:
Fill hard corn shell 1/2 full with quinoa mixture and then fill the rest of the shell with your toppings of choice. i.e. Guacamole, Lime Juice, Simple Salsa, Coconut Yogurt, Hot Sauce ect.. My kids love Ketchup.
Spread Refried Beans over a large flour tortilla and then fold it over your loaded hard corn taco shell, and dig in!
Tip: (I know this because of a lot of double decker taco eating experience's) It's best to use large flour tortilla and not the mini ones as shown in picture. This way you can fold the flour tortilla around the hard corn shell like you would a burrito, thus helping to keep all the good stuff from falling out of your hard shell.
