Ingredients
- 2 cups neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 2 cups taco filling cooked
- 12 corn tortillas
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet, it should be about 1-inch deep.
- Let the oil heat over medium heat until shimmering. Toss a small piece of tortilla in the oil to test if it is hot enough. The oil should bubble around the tortilla.
- Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
- Put 2-3 tablespoons of taco filling in the corn tortilla. Do not overfill the tortillas.
- Fold the tortilla in half and using the tongs, *carefully* place the taco on one side in the hot oil. Hold it in place briefly until you are certain it will stay put.
- Add 2-3 tacos to the pan but don't overcrowd it.
- Flip the tacos once they are golden brown on the side in the oil so the other side can cook.
- Set the cooked taco on a paper towel lined plate to drain.
- If you want to keep the tacos warm, preheat an oven to 200ºF and keep them in there until ready to eat.
Notes
- If the oil is not hot enough, the tortilla will sink and become soggy instead of floating up to the top and being surrounded by bubbles.
- Don't overstuff the tortillas so it will be easier to fold them in half.
- Also don't crowd the pan when frying. Just place a few tortillas in at a time so they have room for the oil to reach all sides.
- Microwave corn tortillas for 30 seconds before filling and folding. This will help to steam them up just a bit and make them softer and more pliable.
