Author Notes
These tacos are your basic crunchy goodness. I serve them simply with lettuce, grated cheddar and Tabasco sauce. I like these with just a bit of beef, but you can use a bit more if you like beefier tacos. Just keep your oil hot so your tortilla gets crunchy. —NomNom
Ingredients
-
10
corn tortillas
-
1/2 pound
ground beef
-
salt

black pepper
-
1 cup
vegetable oil for frying
Directions
-
Heat 1-2 inches oil in a skillet for deep-frying.
-
Using a fork, smear 1 heaping tablespoon of ground beef onto 1/2 of tortilla. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

With tongs, hold the folded taco "seam" in hot oil for a few seconds to set, then let the taco fry on each side about a minute. The meat is thin, so it cooks quickly.
