Tips and Tricks for Making Deep Dish Taco Squares:
- when making the crust, it should be the consistency of pizza dough. You should be able to easily spread it out in the pan. If it is too dry, add another tablespoon or two of water until it makes a dough
- I like to use ground sirloin because it has a better flavor and rarely needs draining. The grease simply cooks out as you are cooking the ground sirloin beef
- another thing that I like to do with taco meat is blended it after it is cooked. That gives it the consistency of a taco from a Mexican restaurant
