Recipe Instructions:
-
Begin by preparing the flavorful tomato filling. In a food processor, combine the tomatoes, onion, and garlic, and puree until smooth and well-combined.
-
Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, ensuring it’s hot enough to sizzle when the tomato filling is added.
-
Pour the tomato filling into the skillet and cook it until it thickens and reduces, which should take around 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Once the tomato filling has thickened, add the meat of your choice, whether it be beef, pork, or a combination of both, and mix it well with the tomato mixture, ensuring every bite bursts with flavor.
-
Remove the skillet from the heat and season the filling with salt to taste, enhancing the savory profile of the dish.
-
Now it’s time to assemble the tacos. Heat the corn tortillas until they’re warm and pliable, making them easier to work with.
-
Spoon an equal amount of the flavorful filling onto each tortilla, distributing it evenly to ensure a perfect bite every time.
-
Roll up each tortilla tightly and secure them with toothpicks, ensuring they hold their shape during frying. Alternatively, if you prefer, you can assemble all the tacos and chill them seam side down until you’re ready to fry.
-
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat, ensuring there’s enough oil to fully submerge the tacos. When the oil is hot, carefully add the tacos, frying them in batches of 4 until they’re golden and crispy on all sides, creating that irresistible crunch.
-
If you opted not to use toothpicks, place the tacos seam side down in the hot oil first to prevent them from unraveling during frying.
-
Once the tacos are golden and crispy, remove them from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove any excess oil, ensuring they’re perfectly crisp and delicious.
-
Repeat the frying process with the remaining tacos, keeping them warm in the oven until they’re all done and ready to serve.
-
To serve, arrange three crispy fried tacos on each plate, showcasing their golden-brown exterior and mouthwatering filling.
-
Top the tacos with dollops of creamy guacamole, tangy sour cream, and zesty salsa, adding layers of flavor and texture to every bite.
-
Garnish the tacos with fresh cilantro leaves and crumbled queso fresco or farmer cheese, elevating their presentation and flavor profile.
-
Serve these delectable Crispy Fried Tacos or Tacos Dorados alongside refried beans and a refreshing cactus salad, creating a complete meal that’s bursting with Mexican-inspired goodness.
Enjoy the crispy perfection of these homemade tacos, bringing a taste of Mexico to your table with every bite! 🌮🎉
