Taco shells recipe details
My mother created this recipe over 30 years ago. It’s been a favorite in our family. My kids ask for them on birthdays and special occasions.
Ready in: 25 mins
Ingredients
Serves: 5- 3 cups 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
Preparation method
Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 10 mins1. Mix dry ingredients, add water, and mix till water is absorbed. Knead with hands till dough is consistent. 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 1/8-inch thick.
2. Heat oil in a thick bottom fry pan (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.
