I made the taco stuffed shells tonight. Everyone loved them. But I have a question. How do you keep the edges of the shells, that aren’t covered in sauce from getting hard? I served ours with sour cream but forgot to cut up the avocado. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks. I have used a few of your recipes. They have turned out great. My husband is not a big chicken fan so we mostly stick to the beef recipes. I love your youtube videos. Very easy to navigate!
Delicious and full of flavor- whole family loved them!
