- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese
- 1-2 cups vegetable oil
- 12 Yellow Corn Tortillas
- lettuce and tomato
- cooked cubed potatoes optional
Instructions
- Cook the ground beef until browned. Season with salt and pepper. Drain, if needed.
- Add meat and shredded cheese to a bowl and mix. (add the optional potatoes)
- In a large frying pan heat up 1-1½ inches of vegetable oil.
- Add about ⅓ cup of the meat mixture to the center of one tortilla. Fold the tortilla and clasp the top edges with tongs to keep it closed.
- While holding the top of the tortilla place the bottom in the oil. Rock the tortilla from side to side a few times and then lie the tortilla on its side to fry.
- Fry each side until golden brown and place on a plate lined with a paper towel to drain excess oil.
- Fill each taco with lettuce and tomatoes before serving.
