Ingredients
Scale
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 lb ground beef or chicken
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup shredded Oaxaca or Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sour cream and salsa (for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Stir in ground beef or chicken along with cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper until cooked through.
- Assemble Your Tacos: Place about two tablespoons of filling in the center of each corn tortilla. Fold carefully to form a taco.
- Heat the Oil: In another skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Fry Each Taco: Gently place each folded taco into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides (about 3-4 minutes per side). Turn carefully to avoid splashes.
- Drain Excess Oil: Remove tacos from oil and let drain on paper towels.
- Add Toppings: While still hot, top each taco with shredded cheese, sour cream, and salsa.
