Pan Fried Beef Tacos Recipes

FRIED BEEF TACOS

Steps:

• For the fried taco shells: Add about 1/2 inch oil to a medium high-sided pot. Heat to 350 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, roll each biscuit into a 6-inch circle. Working in batches, fry the biscuits until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined sheet tray. Sprinkle with salt.
• For the filling: Add the oil to a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking up with a spoon, 5 to 6 minutes. Meanwhile, mix together the taco seasoning in a small bowl: chili, garlic, and onion powders, Mexican oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Add to the beef, along with the beer. Continue cooking until the beef is no longer pink and the sauce has thickened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Assembly: Place a fried biscuit on a plate. Top with a scoop of filling followed by the cheese, lettuce, olives, tomatoes and scallions. Finish with a dollop of sour cream and a dash of hot sauce. Repeat to make 5 more tacos.

PAN FRIED BEEF TACOS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°F. (This is just to keep your tacos warm while you're making them, or if you need to make them ahead of time you can keep them on warm for up to 30 minutes) Start by heating up a large skillet with the oil over medium heat. Add the beef and brown while breaking up with a spoon until completely cooked through. Next add in the diced tomatoes, green chilies, salt, pepper, cumin and garlic powder. Stir to combine the filling and transfer to a large bowl. Wipe out the skillet and spray with cooking spray. Place one tortilla in the skillet and top with 3/4 cup of the beef filling and a half a cup of cheese. Let cook open for 1 minute, then fold over and press down on the taco with a spatula so it seals closed. Cook for another 2 minutes then flip to the other side for another 2 minutes. Just get them nice and browned on both sides, it only takes about 5 minutes total for each taco. Transfer to the oven to keep warm and repeat with the remaining tortillas.
