Ditch Tortillas And Use Frozen Waffles On Taco Night Instead - Tasting Table

"You forgot to pick up tortillas from the store and have your heart (and stomach) set on taco night. Instead of fretting about making tacos from scratch, dip into your freezer. Frozen waffles can be used to stand up to your favorite taco recipes. Whether you want to pile plates with ground beef, slow cooker al pastor, or a vegetarian special, ready-made waffles can be your answer for a quick and tasty taco-inspired meal."

"Though you won't be biting into a super crunchy taco shell, the waffle can stand in its place with a crisp of its own until you get around to revisiting the store or whipping up tacos on your own. To coax out a crunchier texture in these frozen discs, toast both sides of the waffle using either a toaster or oven. You can use taco holders to help the pieces keep their shape as you set about assembling your recipes."

Frozen waffles can substitute for taco shells, providing a crisp base for ground beef, slow cooker al pastor, or vegetarian fillings. Toasting both sides in a toaster or oven increases crispness and helps hold shape. Taco holders can support waffles during assembly. Preparation takes under 20 minutes, making waffles suitable for quick dinners and DIY self-serve buffets where diners assemble their own toppings. Store-bought waffles also lend themselves to dessert or breakfast uses: slice for small bites with peanut butter, fruit, or Nutella, or stack pre-flavored waffles with whipped cream, caramel, chocolate, and toasted banana.
