- 12 corn tortillas

How to Make
-
Step 1: Brown meat and onion, add tomato paste and spices and simmer. Meanwhile, preheat oil on medium-high in small skillet or shallow saucepan, just big enough to fry tortillas. oil should be about 1/2" thick.
-
Step 2: When oil is hot, fry each tortilla quickly, both sides in less than a minute. Drain upside down on paper towels. Shells should still be fairly soft.
-
Step 3: Fill shells with meat, and serve hot with all the fixings.
