Not only will your tacos taste better but they will be less prone to breakage when assembling and eating them if you warm them in this way first.

2. In another pan, add 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil to hot pan. Heat the corn tortillas on both sides until they are soft and slightly colored (if you warm them too long they’ll get crispy and you’ll have to make quesadillas). Add more oil if needed.

3. Remove tortillas from pan and gently make a U shape to taco shells. Use a slice of orange or another fruit as a stand. You can then eat the fruit afterwards.

4. Spread heated refried beans into a layer on the bottom of each taco shell.

5. Add shredded cheese over the layer of warm refried beans.

6. Next, add the shredded cabbage.

7. Over the top of the cabbage add pan-fried shrimp, grilled steak, and grilled chicken to your tacos. Keep the flavors separate to make each taco distinctive.

8. Top each taco with pineapple salsa.

9. Finally, top each taco with spicy sour cream or Citrus Infused Sauce.
