After sushi and sisig bake made waves, the quarantine baking saga continues—this time, through trays of cheesy tacos making their way to the oven. This rising food craze is a must-try for those looking for a quick-to-make yet unique snack or a baked treat which isn’t necessarily a pastry.
While the lockdown has inspired many to heat up their ovens and make cookies, cakes and bread at the start, recent viral baking recipes lean more on the savory side with dishes like sushi and sisig—which you never would have thought of baking before.
The steps of making these savory quarantine bakes are also easy to follow: put it in a pan, bake it, and then eat it. Interestingly, sushi, sisig and taco bakes are all served best with specific wrappers. While nori sheets are for sushi bakes, lettuce or any other leafy vegetables are for sisig and tortilla, taco shell or nacho chips are for taco bakes.
To make taco bake, you need the same ingredients usually used in making regular tacos such as ground beef, tortilla chips, tomatoes, cheddar and cayenne pepper. The secret to this latest food trend is to make it as cheesy as possible for the ultimate taco experience.
Meanwhile, this easy layered taco bake recipe has a shorter ingredient list. Needing just ground beef, taco seasoning, chili cheese corn chips, cheddar cheese soup, milk and mozzarella, you can finish preparing and cooking this taco bake recipe within 45 minutes.
Alternatively, you can make its mini version with wonton wrappers instead of tortilla, along with chicken breast, salsa, paprika powder, mozzarella and cheddar cheese and cilantro. Tip? Serve it with sour cream and onion dip.
