-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 pk Corn tortilla (12 ct)
1 lb Hamburger
1 sm Onion, chopped
4 cl Garlic, minced
1 md Potato, peeled, boiled
-and mashed, or use leftover
Garlic salt
Black pepper, fresh ground
Oil for frying
-----CONDIMENTS-----
Chopped tomato
Shredded lettuce (iceberg)
Grated cheddar
Chopped onion
Sliced olives
Sour cream
Avacado or guacamole
Salsa or taco sauce

Let tortillas come to room temperature before
attempting to use them. Use a well seasoned iron
skillet for frying.

Filling:
Crumble hamburger into a skillet and add onion and
garlic. Cook unitl meat is browned and onions are
verging on translucent. Add mashed potatoes and stir
in. Add garlic salt and pepper to taste. When all is
hot and potatoes are well incorporated, turn burner to
low and keep warm.

To Fry:
Heat skillet with oil about 1/16 to 1/8 inches deep.
You will need to add more as you cook. You should be
able to cook at least two tacos at a time in an
average size skillet. Just be sure to watch as they
will burn quickly. When a drop of water sizzles,
begin to fry. Take a stack of tortillas and place a
heaping spoonful of filling in the middle. Fold (like
a taco :>) and place fold in hot oil to set. When it
holds the shape lay on it's sde and fry one side. Use
tongs to place in oil and to turn. When it is just
crispy, turn to other side, and finish frying. Remove
to plate covered with paper towels to soak up excess
oil. While you are waiting for each batch to brown,
spoon the filling for the next batch onto tortillas so
you have them ready.

Putting it all together:
Add cheese first, then whatever more liquid
ingredients you prefer (salsa, guacamole, etc)then the
small chuncky ingredints and end with shredded lettuce
(it sorta holds al the good stuff in). Eat and enjoy.
They are pretty messy, but it's worth it :>
