bite-sized tacos are the way to go 🌮✨ these remind me of those little freezer taco bites I used to devour as a kid — but made with better-for-you ingredients. corn tortilla rounds layered with creamy refried beans, a homemade “chorizo” meat (because it's superior to taco meat), cheese, & a side of cool greek yogurt jalapeño ranch for dipping. gluten-free. high-protein. perfect for a tailgate, cookout, or your dinner table.
