4. Braid the Dough
Cut diagonal strips (about 1 inch wide) along both sides of the dough. Fold the strips over the filling, alternating sides to create a braided look. Tuck the ends under.
5. Brush and Bake
Brush the top of the braid with the beaten egg. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
6. Slice and Serve
Let the braid cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve with sour cream, guacamole, or your favorite taco toppings.
Tips for Success
- Make it spicy by adding jalapeños or hot sauce to the filling.
- Use cooked shredded chicken or beans for a different twist.
- Add a layer of refried beans under the meat for extra richness.
- Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in the oven or air fryer for a crispy finish.
