Hi, it’s Jenn, from Eat Cake For Dinner. I am so excited to be here sharing a recipe with you while Kristy enjoys spending time with her new baby boy. Do you follow her on Instagram? How gorgeous is her whole family . . . right!!!
Having a new baby means you don’t have a lot of time to make dinner, but everyone has got to eat.
My family eats a lot of tacos. They are fast and easy and perfect for a busy weeknight. At times, it is nice to switch things up with a two layer version.Besides, if half the family likes crunchy shells and half likes soft shells, give them all what they want. A soft shell and crunchy shell held together with creamy refried beans.Taco night just got better 🙂

Ingredients
- 1 Lb. lean ground beef
- 1/2 c. finely chopped onion
- 2 (8 oz.) cans tomato sauce
- 2 Tbl. fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 Tbl. ground cumin
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. chili powder
- juice of 1 lime
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 8-10 crunchy taco shells
- 8-10 soft flour tortillas
- 1 can refried beans, warmed
For serving
- sour cream
- chopped lettuce
- Feta cheese
- diced tomato
- chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and saute for a few minutes or until tender. Add tomato sauce, cilantro, cumin, garlic powder, chili powder and fresh lime juice. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Simmer for 5 minutes. If mixture starts to look too dry, add 1 or 2 Tablespoons of water and stir to combine.
- If your flour tortillas are much larger than your crunchy shells, use a pizza cutter and cut them down to size. Spread refried beans over soft flour tortillas and fold around the crunchy taco shells. Fill with meat filling and top with desired toppings. Makes 8-10 tacos.

Taco night just got crazy! I hate having to decide between soft or crunchy…now I don’t have to 🙂
Have two different taco shells is such a fun idea!
