After every high school soccer practice, my order was the same: a Crunchy Taco Supreme, with that cool sour cream against the spicy meat. I still think it's one of the best combos ever invented.
Lately, I've been introducing my boys to all my favorite high school cravings, and tonight, this one got the Fab Four treatment.
These copycat Taco Bell crunchy tacos have everything you love about the original: a crispy corn shell, seasoned beef, and that cool, tangy topping. But they're built to actually keep you full. Three tacos come out to about 55 grams of protein, with fat, fiber, and greens all in there too.
How I Gave the Crunchy Taco Supreme a Fab Four Upgrade
- Grass-fed taco beef: Ground taco meat is a meal prep staple in the LeVeque house. I cook a big batch of grass-fed beef with Siete's mild taco seasoning so it's ready to go all week for tacos, bowls, and lettuce wraps. My secret for getting that perfectly fine, Taco Bell–style crumble? The Masher. It breaks the beef down evenly in seconds, and the new silicone sleeve is gentle on your pans.
- Greek yogurt instead of sour cream: This is the swap that makes the biggest difference. Maple Hill Greek yogurt gives you that same cool, tangy bite as sour cream, with way more protein. Honestly, you won't miss the original.
- Fresh toppings: A handful of shredded lettuce, some diced tomato, and a little raw sharp cheddar finish things off, adding crunch, color, and healthy fat.
This one brings me right back to the high school parking lot, and now it's a family favorite at our table. Make a batch of taco meat this week, grab The Masher for the perfect crumble, and let me know how you like it.
