How To Make crispy beef & bean tacos

  • 1
    Heat about 1 inch of oil in large, deep skillet. Fry tortillas, 1 at a time, fold slightly in half, as pictured. (Do not fold completely in half) and continue to fry for about 1-2 minutes over medium heat or until just lightly browned and bubbly. (Whatever shape they are in when they start to crisp, they will stay in.) Repeat with other side. Continue with all tortillas. Set aside on a wire rack or paper towels to drain. You can place them in a 170 degree oven to keep warm if desired.
  • 2
    When shells are done, brown ground beef in a 10 inch skillet over medium-high heat. Drain.
  • 3
    Stir in beans, corn and tomatoes.Cook, stirring occasionally until hot and well blended.
  • 4
    Spoon about 1/2 cup of bean mixture into each tortilla taco shell. Serve with whatever toppings you desire.
