Notes
To keep your tacos hot while you finish cooking the rest, place the first batch in the oven on the lowest setting after removing them from the skillet. If you're cooking two tortillas at a time and making enough for four people (8 tortillas), this trick ensures each taco stays warm and crispy until you're ready to serve.
