Our kids begged for this every Friday when they were growing up. Now they ask for it everytime they come over. One of the very few things hubby knows how to cook :lol:

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb ground beef
1/2 onion, diced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons mild chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon cilantro
12 corn tortillas
1 cup shredded cheese
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup sour cream
taco sauce
oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oil on medium-hi. (Choose the pan for frying the shells carefully. It should be just a little bigger than the taco shells in diameter, and have straight sides so the minimum amount of oil can be used. It's easier to handle the shells if the pan is fairly shallow - no more than 3 inches deep.).
  • In a separate pan, brown onion with meat and drain grease. Add tomato paste and spices.
  • Continue to simmer meat while frying shells. Fry each tortilla quickly, less than a minute each, folding in the middle while frying. Drain on paper towels. Add more oil if needed. Shells should still be fairly soft.
  • Fill taco shells with meat and serve. Cheese, lettuce, tomato, sour cream and taco sauce should be served with the tacos so that everyone can fix their own.
