Special Precautions and Tips:
- If you don't have a taco seasoning packet, you can make your own by combining chili powder, cumin, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt.
- For a spicier salsa, use a hotter jalapeño pepper. You can also adjust the amount of lime juice to your taste.
- To keep the tacos crispy, serve them immediately. If you need to store them for later, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the microwave or on a comal before serving.
