What is Maria & Ricardo's?

I've been buying Maria & Ricardo's tortillas at my local Whole Foods for YEARSS, so this NEW mini Cinco de Mayo series in collaboration with them is a dream come true. Their wholesome and delicious tortillas are baked for a variety of needs, styles, and nutritional standards without compromising taste and quality. They have KETO tortillas, traditional tortillas, and basically every tortilla you could possibly need.

How to make the crispy jalapeño cheddar taco crust?

The ticket here is using either a nonstick skillet with olive oil or a cast iron skillet with olive oil. Place 2-3 thin slices of fresh jalapeño peppers on the oiled skillet, add about 1/4 cup shredded cheese, and then the folded tortilla to cook for 1-2 minutes (until crispy and golden).

You could also repeat this on the other side, but it's optional!

How to store and reheat leftover tacos?

Store leftover tacos in an airtight container in the fridge up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven at 350F on a parchment paper lined sheet pan for 5-6 minutes, flip and bake an additional 5-6 minutes (until warmed through and crispy again).
