MOM'S FRIED TACOS

Steps:

• Heat oven to the "warm" setting to keep the cooked tacos warm while frying the bunch.
• Take a scoop of hamburger about the size of a golf ball and press it on one half side of a tortilla. Spread it out to cover as much of the half as you can. Do this to each tortilla.
• Cover the finished stack with a slightly damp paper towel to keep the tortillas from drying out around the edges.
• In the largest skillet you have, heat about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch oil. Once it is hot, lay a tortilla (hamburger side up) in the hot oil.
• After the tortilla has softened in the oil, about 5-10 seconds, use tongs to fold it in half. Let it cook in the oil for about 2-3 minutes. Flip over for another 2-3 minutes.
• Remove tacos from the oil with tongs and let any excess oil run out one end before placing on a cookie sheet covered with paper towels. Keep these in the oven as you cook the batch.
• Once finished serve with toppings.
