Ingredients

1 1/2 pound lean (20%) ground beef.

Taco seasoning packet

1/4 cup water.

1-2 tomatoes

1 head iceberg lettuce

1 avocado

1 bag shredded cheese

Pint sour cream

Red taco sauce

Green taco sauce

Salt and pepper

Canola oil

I package of extra large corn tortillas (12 in the pack)

Directions

In a large frying pan, break up hamburger, cooking over a medium or medium high heat. Chop up the meat with a rubber spatula.

Add 1/4 cup of water. This gets the meat cooking and help draw out the grease.

Once it looks like it is thoroughly cooked, drain through a strainer that is sitting on a large paper plate. Let it drain about two minutes and them pick of the strainer and let the rest of the grease drip out.

Return to pan, and 1/2 cup water, stir, add taco season mixture, and stir well.

Cooking over medium heat, stir and cook until water is about gone.

Turn burner to cool.

Separate how many tortillas for each person and the rest are cut up with scissors for chips.

Heat up smaller pan with about 3/8 inch oil, medium temp and start dropping in cut up to tortilla chips. Turn about 4 times, when golden brown, place on paper towel, gently bloat with towels, sprinkle salt immediately. Continue until all chips cooked.

To make soft tortilla for tacos, with oil fairly hot, lay tortilla in oil, carefully press center down, wait about 5 seconds, and turn over. Another 5 seconds, remove, let oil drip off, Place on clean paper towel and bloat with paper towel to get extra grease.

Cook all that are to be soft (rest of package)

Place on plate and spread on sour cream, then a couple of spoon fills of meat.

Pour a little red and green on the meat.

Now layer on some thinly shaved lettuce, next avocado, salt and pepper the avocado slices.

Add tomatoes slices, salt and pepper. Pour more red and green sauce over tomatoes and avocados. Top with grated cheese.

Fold tortilla over and pinch one end so it doesn't push out. Recommend 3-4 large paper towels. Way fun to eat and I personally like the layering as I get the flavors and textures at the right time. JJ

Thanks, like a chef of PBS in Hawaii said "its all in how you build it to get the right flavors and textures". Thats why I build dishes in specific ways like the Pastrami and Egg salad. Lettuce must be shaved angle hair thin. Well enjoy them all. JJ
