    I tried this taco braid but it was not that successful. I over stuffed it maybe as I wasn’t able to braid it successfully 😬. To rescue the situation, I put 2 small corn tortillas on top and tried to close it as much as I can and covered it A LOT of cheese. The side didn’t bake together at all so the juices sipped out while baking😥.
