My mother has been making these for more than 30 years. Frying the tacos makes them extra crispy and delicious. Our five grown sons request these whenever they visit.Catherine Gibbs, Gambrills, Maryland Ingredients:
salsa: |
1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained |
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce |
1 can (4 ounces) sliced jalapeno peppers |
1 small onion, quartered |
1 teaspoon garlic salt |
tacos: |
1 pound ground beef |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
12 corn tortillas (6 inches) |
1/2 cup canola oil |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese |
4 cups shredded lettuce |
Directions:
1. In a blender, combine the salsa ingredients; cover and pulse until salsa reaches desired consistency. Transfer to a large bowl; cover and refrigerate.
