Instructions
- Defrost hamburger meat.
- (However you do this is fine, i.e.
- microwave, set-out, water).
- While hamburger is defrosting, cut up tomatoes, lettuce, onions, etc.
- Set aside.
- Next, Brown hamburger meat in large, deep skillet.
- Once browned, add both cans of Ranch-style beans, cover and leave on low heat to keep warm.
- Heat vegetable oil on low-medium heat in small skillet until hot.
- BE CAREFUL, OIL WILL BE HOT!
- Submerge corn tortilla in oil until entire tortilla begins to bubble.
- (Do not fry too long, tortilla will harden.)
- Remove and repeat step until all tortillas are dipped in oil and heated.
- **If you have tongs, this works best to pick up tortillas and remove.
- A fork tends to tear.
- (I blot tortillas with a paper towel to sop up some of the oil).
- Build your taco!
- Add whatever optional ingredients you like!
- **Kids love this recipe because they can put whatever toppings they like.
- **Some people prefer flour tortillas, and if you're in a real hurry, this just makes it even FASTER!
- **Also, this is a great party food.
- Everyone can bring something different, veggies, salsa, etc.
