Stuffed Taco Bread

Taco Stuffed Bread

There isn’t a week that goes by that we don’t have a south-of-the-border meal on our dinner menu. My boys are die hard fans whether I’m making crockpot chicken tacos, a cheesy taco meatloaf or a big bowl of taco soup. This delicious stuffed bread proves that you can enjoy those same flavors in an an out-of-the-box way. Variety is the spice of life, right?

Step-by-step preparation images and ingredients for Stuffed Taco Bread

Helpful Tips for Making Taco Stuffed Bread

  • For this recipe, I use a long french baguette found in any grocery store bakery. You may use a shorter fluffy loaf of Italian bread, if preferred but, the baguette holds up best to the taco filling.
  • If you’d like to add extra kick to the bread, switch out the cheese for the same mount of pepper jack cheese.
  • The taco beef can be prepared in advance and chilled in an airtight container until assembling, to save time.
  • The top and middle of the bread that you’ll removed from the baguette can be baked along with the taco bread, if desired. It can also be placed into a freezer bag and saved for future use. You can use it as bread crumbs to top your favorite casseroles or as an ingredient for meatloaf.
  • Top this taco bread with cilantro, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, onion, olives, salsa, guacamole, sour cream or any of your favorite taco toppings.
