Taco Tuesday with a Twist

I know, I know, it's Wednesday, but the other night we made our "Taco Tuesday Tacos." These tacos may seem like ordinary ones, but they have a little flair because you fry the shell. It adds a little CRUNCH! We love them.




If you would like to try, here is how:

*Put a small amount of oil in a shallow pan. There should be enough oil to cover the pan, but not enough to drown the shell. (Use your best judgement on this one, sorry if I'm bad at explaining.)
*Turn the heat to Medium. Make sure you don't turn it up too high or the oil will splatter.
*Let warm for 5 mins.
*Put the first shell in. The shells should start bubbling. Once they have bubbled about 15 seconds--turn the shell over, and let the other side do the same. (See picture.)



*Repeat if necessary. The shell should be a golden color. Try not to let them get too brown, or you will have a crumbly taco. (These are still good, just crumbly. :) I'm pretty experienced at the crumbly taco! :)

*Dab extra oil off shell with paper towel

*Repeat for remaining shells.

Add the Taco fixings and enjoy. :)

For dessert, sorry I don't have a picture of this one....
