Storage & Make-Ahead Tips
- Refrigerate: Keeps well for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for a crispy crust.
- Freeze: You can freeze the unbaked pie and bake it later (add 10–15 extra minutes).
- Prep ahead: Cook the beef filling up to 24 hours in advance.
Sometimes the best comfort meals are the simplest ones—just tacos, cheese, and someone ready to enjoy them.
