Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

1 tablespoon canola oil
1 yellow onion, diced
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon chile powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 pound ground beef
1 cup tomato sauce
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
6 to 8 hard-shell tacos
Shredded cheese, for topping
1 tomato, diced
1 avocado, diced
Shredded lettuce, for topping
Sliced pickled jalapenos, for topping
Sour cream, for dipping

Steps:

In a large skillet, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat; add the onions and cook until translucent. Add the cayenne, chile powder, cumin and Mexican oregano and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the beef and cook until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the tomato sauce and apple cider vinegar and cook until the sauce reduces slightly, 3 to 5 minutes.
Build the tacos in this order: cheese on the bottom, followed by the beef, tomatoes, avocados, lettuce and jalapenos. Serve the sour cream on the taco or on the side for dipping.

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

2 cups vegetable oil for frying
1 (12 ounce) package corn tortillas
salt to taste

Steps:

Heat about 1 inch of oil in a heavy skillet over medium to medium-high heat to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C).
Use tongs to place one tortilla at a time into the oil. It should start to sizzle right away. Cook for about 15 seconds, then flip over and fold the shell in half, holding in place with the tongs until crispy, about 15 seconds. You may need a little practice at first. Drain on paper towels, and sprinkle with salt while still hot. Use for tacos right away, or they may become chewy. Leftovers may be heated in the oven for crisping.

HARD SHELL TACOS

Hard Shell Tacos image

I've been making these tacos for over a year now, and they are always a huge hit with my family. Even my brothers can't complain about them! You can make them vegetarian or with beef, or both! Simply replace the refried beans with ground beef or turkey and a packet of taco seasoning. Best served buffet-style, so people may choose their own taco ingredients.
