Directions:Cook meat choice. Chop into tiny pieces or, if using ground beef, break it up as it cooks.
Season with seasoning salt, garlic salt, and pepper to taste (or you can use the taco seasonings of your choice). But season the meat at least a little as it does make a difference in the taste. Drain any excess liquid from the meat. Stir in la Victoria red taco sauce to cover the meat but you don't smother.
Cover the bottom of a skillet with oil. Heat the oil over medium heat.
If you use corn tortillas, hold the shell up and look for the natural fold of the shell. It should fold easily when you place it in your hand and close to make a loose fist. This is important because the corn tortillas are likely to fall apart if you don't use the right side in the oil.
If you use flour tortillas, either side is fine.
Place a piece of sliced American cheese on each tortilla. Create a pile of prepared tortillas with cheese before you start cooking because once you start, cooking goes fast!
Spoon 1-1 1/2 tsp. of meat into the tortilla was cheese. Don't fill the meat all the way to the end; leave a little room on each end.
Hold the top of each tortilla side to form a taco and hold (the bottom fold) in the oil for a short time; about 45 seconds to one minute. The oil should sizzle but not pop. Then fold the taco over and lay on one side to cook. Then flip to the other side to cook; about 45 seconds to one minute for each side or until desired 'crunch.'
Oil temperature will change as you continue to cook which will change the cook times so you will have to adjust cooking times as temperatures vary.
Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain and sprinkle the outside with Parmesan cheese. Add the desired toppings and serve. |
