Taco Recipes

 

Tortilla Tacos

 

Ingredients

• 2 cups Beef (shredded)
• 12 Corn Tortillas
• 1/2 cup Corn or Canola Oil (if soft Tacos aren’t fried)
• 2 cups Chihuahua or Jack Cheese (grated)
• 1 Tomato (diced)
• 1 bunch Green Onions (chopped)
• 1/2 head Lettuce or Cabbage (shredded)
• 1 cup Salsa Mexicana and/or Salsa Verde

 

Method

• If the tacos are to be fried, heat some oil in a pan and cook tortillas lightly on one side. Turn and fry lightly on the other side as well.
• Bend the tortilla in half before it becomes crisp and. Now, hold it steady and crisp the folded end.
• Remove the tortillas from oil and drain on paper towel. Repeat the procedure with the rest 11 tortillas as well.
• Heat the beef until it starts steaming and place one to two tablespoons of it as the filling inside a taco shell. 
• Add shredded lettuce, onions, tomatoes and top with cheese. Repeat for all tacos. Now, serve immediately. 
• For soft tacos, heat tortillas in the oven or microwave until hot and bendable.
• Fold and fill in the same way as fried tacos. If your tacos seem inclined to fall apart, use two tortillas to double the strength.
• Serve immediately.

Some Useful Tips

• Use corn tortillas instead of wheat tortillas, while making tacos, as the former taste better.
• Tacos with potato tots or pieces of potatoes in them can be a good option to explore.
• Use a variety of ingredients for taco filling, according to everyone’s taste. You might like one variety, while others may have a different choice
• Don’t use stored tortillas for making tacos. Whenever you plan to make tacos, get fresh corn tortillas from the market, for that exquisite taste.
