Thanksgiving leftovers are made into Tacos Dorados, or crispy tacos. The leftover mashed potatoes and dressing make for a good base for these delicious tacos.
Up until I started watchin TikTok, I had never heard of Tacos Dorados. They looked delicious and it turns out that they are just crispy tacos. You can pretty much put anything in them, or so it seems. As with all my Thanksgiving Leftovers, these are so delicious. They are simple to make and I’m sure you can even bake them if you want to cut out some calories. I am definitely going to try that with the leftovers this week.
Let me share with you some of my favorite Thanksgiving Leftovers that I have shared here on the blog so you have them all in one place:
- Gobbler Bowl
- Turkey and Dressing Crunchwrap
- Turkey and Dressing Biscuit Sandwich
- Turkey Bake
- Turkey and Dressing Tamales
- Cornbread Dressing Waffles
- Leftover Pecan Pie Parfait
Those are all my favorites and I plan to remake a few of them this weekend.
This recipe is fairly simple and I added a TikTok video of my making them. Please be kind.
