Ingredients

  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup sliced pickled jalapeños
  • 2 cups guacamole
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • Cooking oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix the shredded cheese with taco seasoning until evenly coated. Set aside.
  2. Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds to soften.
  3. Place a heaping spoonful of guacamole onto one half of each tortilla, followed by a sprinkle of pickled jalapeños. Top with a generous layer of shredded cheese mixture.
  4. Fold the tortillas in half, enclosing the filling, and press the edges together to seal.
  5. In a deep fryer or heavy pot, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully drop 3 4 bombs into the hot oil and cook for 2 3 minutes until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  6. Remove from oil using a slotted spoon and let drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining bombs.
  7. Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream on top, accompanied by more guacamole, pickled jalapeños, and taco seasoning for extra zest.
