Tacos Dorados
Delicious crispy tacos filled with seasoned beef and cheese.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds lean ground beef
- 1 jalapeno, seeds removed, diced
- 1 white onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon Slap Ya Mama seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 12 corn tortillas
- 1 cup vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, onions, and jalapeno until the beef is no longer pink and the vegetables are tender, about 8-10 minutes. Add Slap Ya Mama, garlic powder, cumin, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well and drain excess grease.
- Wipe the skillet and heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when you drop in a tortilla.
- Place one corn tortilla at a time in the hot oil. Using tongs, add a generous amount of the cheese, meat mixture, and more cheese to one side of the tortilla.
- Fold the tortilla in half and fry until crispy and golden, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Once golden, place the taco on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas until all the filling is used.
- Serve the tacos on a platter with your favorite toppings like salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
Notes
Customize your tacos with toppings like salsa, guacamole, or sour cream. For a healthier option, bake the tacos in the oven instead of frying.
