How To Reheat Taco Bell Tacos

1. Remove all the ingredients inside the taco 
2. Separate every ingredient that has to be cold (i.e. lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, guacamole, etc.
3. Separate the ingredients that need to be reheated (i.e. meat, cheese)
4. Reheat the meat and cheese in a microwave 
5. Reheat the taco shell in a toaster oven to make it crispy
6. After reheating, add the meat and cheese into the taco shell and add the cold ingredients back on top

How to Reheat Taco Bell Taco Shells

First, prepare the taco shells for the reheating process. You have to enable them to dry out since the meat and other toppings have most likely moistened the shells. 

You can bring back their firm, crunchy texture in a variety of ways. 

1. Reheat Taco Shells in the Microwave

You can reheat the taco shells in the microwave. Compared to the other options, this is the simplest and fastest. However, they may not come out as crispy as you like. 

1. Put the taco shell on a microwave-safe plate. 
2. Heat for 30 seconds. Repeat the process if needed.
3. Once fully heated, remove the taco shells from the microwave and set them aside.

2. Reheat Taco Shells in the Oven

Using the oven to reheat the taco shell will give you the best results. Check out the steps below.

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. 
2. Use a baking tray and properly line up the taco shells. Make sure they have plenty of space around them to allow for airflow.
3. Bake them for approximately 10 minutes. 

3. Reheat Taco Shells On the Stove

You may also use a frying pan when reheating taco shells. Be careful not to burn your tacos while they are heating.

1. Preheat the pan over medium heat. 
2. Pour a bit of oil into it to prevent the tacos from sticking to the pan. 
3. Place the tacos in the pan.
4. Heat for around 2 minutes per side.
5. Once thoroughly heated, remove the taco shell from the pan and set it aside.

How to Reheat Taco Bell Taco Fillings

The taco fillings include meat and other ingredients like beans or cheese. Keep in mind that you are reheating the meat rather than making it from the start. While you should properly heat it, take caution not to overheat the meat as this will dry it out.

If you want a quick way to reheat taco fillings, use the microwave. 

1. Put the fillings in a microwave-safe bowl.
