Can I make these ahead of time?

Here's the honest truth - you can , but you shouldn't. These tacos are best when assembled right before serving. The shells lose their magical crispness if they sit with the filling too long. That said, you can prep all the components separately up to a day in advance - just store the baked shells in an airtight container at room temperature, and keep the filling and toppings chilled. Assemble when you're ready to blow everyone's minds!

Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?

Oh boy, this one comes from experience - frozen strawberries will turn your tacos into a soggy mess if you don't handle them right! If fresh berries just aren't an option, thaw the frozen ones completely first, then pat them dry between layers of paper towels until they're as dry as you can get them. Even then, they'll still release some juice, so plan to eat these extra fast. Personally? I'd run to the store for fresh berries - it's worth it!

How do I prevent soggy shells?

Three magic words: wire cooling rack. After baking your shells, transfer them immediately to a wire rack instead of leaving them on a baking sheet. This lets air circulate all around them so steam can escape rather than getting trapped and making them soft. Also, make sure they're completely cool before filling - I usually wait at least 15 minutes. And whatever you do, don't skimp on the butter when preparing them - that crispy sugar coating is your best defense against sogginess!
