Just ok. I liked the idea of it, but the outer tortilla got pretty soggy and it was just all too much. Would prefer either hard or soft shell by themselves. Sorry. Wasn't bad in any way, just not something I'd go to the effort to make again.

This is a great twist on the classic taco. Enfolding the hard taco shell within the soft tortilla makes eating the taco far more manageable and cleaner. A keeper!

These were pretty good, a neat idea. I did take a couple of shortcuts, just chopped up the avocado and used it like that instead of making the "guacamole" and I just microwaved the beans to heat them through. I also chose to use Tostitos brand queso dip instead of shredded cheddar cheese, but just because I happened to have some. This would be good too with cheese melted on the flour tortilla instead of beans, like Taco Bell's cheesey gordita crunch :)

This was good, but it could have been better. When we have taco's we've used the refried bean method and used Fajita seasons by McCormick. Unfortunately I was hoping to get my family into eating taco's and this didn't do it. Thanks for the meal though.

Delicious recipe and it was fun to make. I made a vegetarian version of this by using veg. refried beans (spread on the soft tortilla) and black beans I had cooked up with some onion, green pepper, and jalapeno were used as the filling for the crisp taco shells The tacos stayed together nicely and I just chopped up the veggies and let everybody put whatever combination of lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese and sour cream they enjoy. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

I was very leary to use the guacamole recipe with sour cream so I used the allrecipes "guacamole" recipe by Bob Cody. I already knew that recipe is a winner & easy. Since the guacamole already has tomatoes I skipped putting anymore on the taco. I felt the 2/3 cup water was WAY too much....I'll start with 1/4 cup and slowly add up to a 1/2 cup next time. My beans were too watery with 2/3 cup. I might try using spicy refried beans next time and just using all the taco seasoning on the beef. I had no problem with soggy taco shells & no problem using generic taco shells. I do recommend white flour tortillas, I tried wheat and it wasn't the same. This recipe is AMAZING, fun, and loved by all.

Used roasted chicken with chicken taco mix instead to use up some leftovers. Turned out great!

5 stars for concept, however, I do like some others and use my own spicy homemade refried's (I make large batch and freeze in smaller portions). Since I cook for two I use way less of everything, but...I do spinkle some crumbled Queso on the layer of beans and I use shredded Chihauhau cheese. I also use my own blend of spices for the meat as I don't like the packaged stuff. I haven't ever used Guac but if I decide to use avocodo at some point, I think I will dice it up and toss with sprinkle of lemon or lime and a bit of salt. Instead of plain tomato I use Pico De Gallo I've made. Using fresher ingredients & more authentic cheeses elevates the "Bell" version. If your soft tortillas are too big... trim them down to fit...makes strips out of leftover and fry em up & sprinkle with some seasoning of choice if you don't want to throw that excess away. I love these because your corn tortilla stay put in the layer of beans/soft tortilla and they just taste good! Very easy to sub ingredients/technique to your liking.
