Taco Paper Squishy Template with Lettuce and Tomato
Our taco paper squishy template is a crunchy yellow shell filled with green lettuce, red tomato and brown meat, free to print. The face sits on the shell. Its half-moon outline makes it quick to cut.
Quick answer
Print it at 100 % and colour the filling first. Tape the shells, cut them out on the grey line and pair them up. Stuff the shell and close the top. An adult handles the scissors. Not for kids under three.

A taco with all the filling
Tacos are a fun, slightly silly squishy shape. The filling peeks out over the top edge in a wavy line.
The shell is golden yellow. Lettuce, tomato and meat sit on top in green, red and brown bumps, which is what makes the outline wavy. The back shows the shell with a few toasted spots.
Wavy is fine. Just cut slowly along the top.

How to make the taco squishy
- Print the sheet with no scaling and check the size line.
- Colour the shell yellow and the filling in its three colours.
- Cover both halves with wide clear tape.
- Cut along the outside of the grey border and follow the wavy top.
- Tape the round bottom first, then stuff through the top.
- Close the top with short strips so the tape follows the waves.
Short strips are the trick for wavy edges. Long ones lift. More on tape that won't stay down is in our paper squishy guide. The burger and the fries are also in the template collection.
Squishies for a food night
We don't have a taco squishy, so here are close cousins. The kawaii burger is slow rising, and the crunchy corn and cabbage could be the filling.

FAQ
How big is the taco template?
The big taco is 9 x 6 cm and the small one 6 x 4 cm.
Why does the tape lift on the wavy top?
Long strips can't follow curves. Use short pieces and press each one down from the middle.
Is there a taco squishy in your shop?
Not yet. Our food squishies include burgers, fries and crunchy vegetables.
