Double Decker Taco

When I was younger I was an avid eater at Taco Bell.  There was a double decker taco they had that I loved, and ever since my husband and I lived together I have been making these tacos at home.  This time I have made it all clean eating!
 
 

Tacos to me are a very loose recipe, and can be altered to your own tastes.  Here is what I did.

Refried beans (I got the recipe from 100 Days of Real Food and I kept about half of the liquid because I like thinner refried beans)
Get the recipe here

Ground beef
- organic grass fed ground beef
- a mixture of spices ( chili powder, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt and pepper)

Cook beef until no longer pink, and when the beef is almost done add spices so the flavor gets seared into the meat.

Tacos
- refried beans
- seasoned ground beef
- soft tortilla shells (I like to make homemade ones but had to do grocery store convenience-THESE ARE NOT CLEAN!)
- hard shells ( I used blue corn shells)
- shredded lettuce
- salsa
- plain chobani (or sour cream)
- you can add anything else your heart desires!

Spread a good layer of refried beans on the soft shells.  Place the hard shell on top.  I find if you break it in half you can lay it flat on the soft shell, and it's easier to fill and close up.  Add ground beef, salsa, lettuce, chobani, and whatever else and close up your taco.  Enjoy!

P.S. yes that is a cloth napkin, I'll talk about that some other time!
