Notes

These tacos are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for about 3 days. To reheat, pop them in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes for that crispiness to return. For extra crunch, toast the tortillas briefly before filling them. You can also experiment with spices and fillings.
