Frequently Asked Questions:

How do I store leftover Caesar Salad Tacos?

To store leftover Caesar Salad Tacos, separate the components (taco shells, filling, and dressing) and store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator.

The dressing should last up to 3 days, while the filling and shells can be stored for up to 2 days. Reassemble the tacos when you’re ready to eat them.

Can I make this recipe healthier or lower in fat?

To make the recipe healthier, you can use a lighter Caesar dressing or make your own using a yogurt base.

You can also use turkey bacon or a plant-based bacon alternative in place of regular bacon, and opt for grilled chicken instead of pan-frying it.

How do I prevent the Parmesan cheese taco shells from sticking to the pan?

To prevent the Parmesan cheese taco shells from sticking, use a non-stick pan or line your pan with a silicone mat or parchment paper.

Also, make sure the cheese is cooked until it starts to crisp and bubble before attempting to remove it from the pan.
