Can't decide between a soft or crunchy taco? Have them both! Double decker tacos are an easy weeknight meal that the whole family will love, AND give back to your child's school while you're at it!
December is my favorite month of the year. I simply can't get enough of it. On the flip side, January is not my favorite month. Yes, it's a great time to make goals and start fresh, but I'm just not ready to get back in the everyday routine of school and sports after spending the previous two week in my pajamas watching holiday movies as a family and playing with all the new toys. Such is life, though, so I thought I'd share one of my favorite weeknight dinners that makes this transition a bit easier. Hearty, delicious and comes together in under 30 minutes---double decker tacos!

I sometimes make my double decker tacos using a taco kit. You don't have to go this route, but it comes with both crunchy and soft tortillas as well as seasonings to make dinner even easier. If your store doesn't have taco kits, simply grab a package of crunchy taco shells and a package of small flour tortillas. Don't forget a bottle of Taco Bell's mild sauce. It's my favorite to drizzle over tacos before serving!
