"Fried Tacos"


Ok so as if tacos weren't good enough, this twist is sure to add the flavor, fun, and yes the other "f" word......f_t. But who's counting? This can be somewhat time consuming, so we rarely have them. My husband has been asking for them for weeks. This recepie has been passed down from my mom, who says her dad cooked them for her as a child. So here it goes!



1 # Ground Beef or Chicken

1 packet Taco Seasoning

1 pack (10) Soft Flour Tortillas

1- 12oz can Refried Beans

1 Tomato

1 Onion (if desired)

1 head of Lettuce

Shredded Cheese

Sour Creme

Vegetable Oil



To begin, I fry the beef, add seasoning, and strain. After this, turn oil in large pan on medium. It is important NOT to over heat the oil, the tacos will cook fast. Mix the beans and beef together in a medium bowl. Spoon 2 generous tablespoons of mixture into each tortilla. Fold tortilla in half and seal the edges flat. Usually the bean mixture will hold the shell closed. Place 1-2 tacos in the oil depending on size of pan. Flip when the tacos reach the desired color. Again, they will cook fast, and you must watch the oil. Top with desired goodies. Yum!
