About This Article
To make a soft taco, start by heating up some tortillas in the microwave or between slightly damp paper towels in the oven. Then, top the tortillas with meat, like chicken, followed by vegetables like lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. You can also put cheese, salsa, pico de gallo, and sour cream on your tacos. Finally, fold the tortillas over and wrap the ends in aluminum foil so nothing falls out when you're eating them. To learn how to melt cheese on your soft tacos, scroll down!
