Crispy, Crunchy, And Flavorful Honduran-Style Fried Tacos
These tacos are nothing short of a revelation. Imagine biting into a perfectly fried shell that gives way to a medley of flavors. You won’t be able to stop at just one!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of masa harina (corn flour)
- 1 ¼ cups of warm water
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1 ½ cups of your choice of filling (like seasoned ground beef, chicken, or cheese)
- Optional toppings: shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, and salsa
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, mix together the masa harina, salt, and warm water until it forms a soft dough. If it feels dry, add a bit more water a tablespoon at a time.
- Divide the dough into small balls about the size of a golf ball and cover them with a damp cloth to keep them moist.
- Using a tortilla press or a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a thin circle. Keep them covered while you work to prevent them from drying out.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. You want the oil hot enough that a drop of dough sizzles when you add it.
- Carefully place each taco shell into the hot oil. Fry for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until they’re golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Once cooled slightly, fill each taco shell with your choice of filling.
- Add toppings like shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, and salsa, and enjoy your delicious creations!
There you have it! Tantalizing tacos that are sure to put a smile on your face and make you the star of any meal. Whether you’re hosting a party or just binge-watching your favorite shows, these Honduran-style fried tacos fit the bill. Happy cooking!
