How to make it
- 1. Peel, cut potatoes and boil. Once cooked, chop into small pieces about 3/8 inch. Set aside.
- 2. Cut head lettuce in half. Using sharp knife shave lettuce as thin as possible. Once cut into strips, cut into 1 inch long pieces. Set aside.
- 3. In a deep pot add 1 cup water then add hamburger breaking it up as added. As hamburger cooks use a wisk to stir breaking up hamburger into BB size pieces. Let hamburger cook. Once cooked, drain.
- 4. Once drained place in a large fry pan. Add 1 1/2 cups water. Add salt, pepper, granulated garlic and mix well. Add chopped onions, chilies, green pepper, stir and mix well. Allow to cook 10 minutes on medium high.
- 5. Add potato, stirring and mixing well.
- 6. Add lettuce, stirring and mixing well. Add another cup of water, mixing well and allow to cook 10 minutes. .
- 7. To cook tortillas barely rinse one side under water. Place on a Styrofoam plate and microwave 12 seconds (1300 watts).
- 8. Add meat and sauce and roll up. You have to hold one end pinched closed so it doesn’t fall out.
- 9. For a variation add shaved lettuce on meat and sauce.
- 10. The taco best suits thin sauce. I pour out half of the sauce and then add water and shake.
