Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup corn meal
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons powdered milk
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 2 cups corn oil
How to Make
-
Step 1: Mix the first 5 dry ingredients, add water, and mix till water is absorbed. Knead with hands till dough is consistent.
-
Step 2: Make dough into 1 1/2 inch balls, flatten and roll out on flour and corn meal-covered board to an 8-inch round, about 1/4-inch thick.
-
Step 3: Heat 2 cups oil in a thick bottom skillet (test oil with a pinch of dough - it will float when oil is hot enough) and fry shells on both sides, turning with tongs. Pat with paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot; top with your favorite taco fixings.
