Prepare the taco meat using the recipe below or use ready-made taco meat. Heat the thawed Bridgford White Whole Wheat Cheesy Jalapeño Biscuits according to the package directions. Split each biscuit in half and place about ½ cup of taco meat on the bottom half. Top with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, and shredded cheese if desired. Finish by placing the top half of the biscuit over the filling and serve warm.
