Grandma's Secret Trick

The crunchy breadstick topping, our favorite part of Grandma's taco potpie, was always devoured right away. This usually left some of the beef filling in the pan for another meal. The next day, Grandma reheated the leftover filling and wrapped it in warm flour tortillas. She topped this second version of tacos with sour cream and black olives for a delicious lunch or snack.
