"Copycat of the Taco Bell Double Decker Tacos. The size of the flour tortillas depends on the size of the corn taco shells. The sizes should be similar."

Quick and easy weeknight dinner. Assembled individually, so everyone can add the toppings they like. I made homemade refried beans using recipe: http://www.food.com/recipe/simple-and-easy-homemade-refried-beans-460636 . So easy, and so much better than the canned variety!

The first time I saw/had these at Taco Bell I wondered why I hadn't thought of it myself! Now I don't eat at Taco Bell anymore, but not one Taco Night goes by in this house without double deckers being made. I got my husband hooked on them, and now we've even converted some of our friends to the "DD" way of doing things. It's the best of both worlds!

I had some Cin Chili (ground beef version) leftover and Pintos n’ Cheese, great for Double Deckers. Both the recipes are posted here. Nice way to get the best of leftovers.
