Granny’s Rolled Tacos

These are a take off of the deep fried rolled tacos you find in some restaurants. I prefer these because you can add the garnishment of your choice and you don’t get as much of that greasy taste…

1 lb of ground beef (I like to use ground chuck)
1 package of taco seasoning
12 corn tortillas
1 cup of finely grated cheese of your choice
Tomatoes – chopped
Lettuce – chopped
Onion – chopped or not
Salsa – optional
Oil for frying

Fry the ground beef. Add the taco seasoning and cook according to package directions.

While the meat mixture is simmering, fry the tortillas quickly, making sure they remain soft enough to roll. Drain on paper towels.

Put a couple of tablespoons of meat mixture across a tortilla fairly close to the edge. Sprinkle with the grated cheese, and then add the tomatoes, lettuce and onion. Set out a bowl of salsa for dipping if desired. (Also great dipped in guacamole)

Place on a plate seam side down. Cover with a towel to keep warm until all are rolled. Make plenty! These aren’t only great tasting they’re fun to eat.

We came up with these tacos because our grandbabies were such picky eaters and tacos were on the “but I don’t like it” list.

We did the cooking and frying and the kids did the “filling” and rolling. I don’t ever remember there being any leftovers. Any time you include the little ones when cooking, they always eat better. Enjoy!
