Deep Fried Stuffed Tacos 🌮

Ingredients:

  • 1-1.5 lbs ground beef (or ground turkey/chicken)
  • 1 can Rotel (drained)
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 slice provolone cheese per taco (depending on how many tacos you make)
  • 1 package shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 1 jar Panchos white queso dip (or your preferred queso)
  • 1 jar picante salsa
  • 1 package flour tortilla shells (about 10-inch tortillas)
  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil works best)
  • Optional toppings: Sour cream, salsa, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, guacamole

For Sealing the Tacos:

  • Flour-water mixture: Mix 1 tablespoon of flour with a little water to make a paste to help seal the tacos before frying.

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Ground Beef:
  • In a skillet over medium heat, brown 1-1.5 lbs of ground beef.
  • Add 1 teaspoon minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
  • Drain excess grease from the beef and return it to the skillet.
  1. Add Rotel and Cheese:
  • Stir in 1 can of drained Rotel.
  • Add 1 cup of shredded Mexican blend cheese, and stir until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined.
  • Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
  1. Assemble the Tacos:
  • Lay out a flour tortilla on a plate.
  • Place 1 slice of provolone cheese in the center of the tortilla.
  • Add a generous spoonful of the beef mixture on top of the provolone.
  • Drizzle a spoonful of Panchos white queso dip over the meat mixture.
  • Add a small spoonful of picante salsa and sprinkle with a little more shredded Mexican cheese for extra cheesy goodness.
  1. Seal the Tacos:
  • Fold the tortilla in half over the filling, pressing the edges together.
  • Use the flour-water mixture to help seal the edges by brushing a small amount of the paste on the edges and pressing to close the taco. This helps prevent the filling from leaking out during frying.
  1. Fry the Tacos:
  • Heat vegetable or canola oil in a deep skillet over medium-low heat. You want enough oil to cover the tacos halfway (about 1/2 inch of oil).
  • Once the oil is hot, carefully place the stuffed tacos into the pan.
  • Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Flip the tacos carefully with tongs and fry the other side for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese inside is fully melted and the outside is crispy.
  1. Drain and Serve:
  • Remove the fried tacos from the oil and let them drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
  • Serve immediately with sour cream, extra salsa, or your favorite taco toppings like shredded lettuce, guacamole, or diced tomatoes.

Tips:

  • Switch up the protein: You can use ground chicken, turkey, or even shredded rotisserie chicken for a lighter option.
  • Customize the filling: Add cooked black beans, corn, or diced bell peppers for extra flavor.
  • Make them extra crispy: Frying at medium-low heat helps ensure the cheese melts on the inside while the tortillas get nice and crispy on the outside.

These Deep Fried Stuffed Tacos are sure to be a hit, especially for picky eaters! It’s a fun, hands-on meal with a satisfying crunch and melty goodness inside. Enjoy! 🌮😋
