Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 package taco seasoning mix
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add the taco seasoning mix according to package instructions and stir well. Set aside.
  2. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).

  4. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 10 seconds.
