Provided by Hannah Williams

Categories     Dinner

Yield 16 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lb fingerling potato, or small Yukon Gold Potatoes, cooked with skin on
¾ cup butter, 1 1/2 sticks, melted
8 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 cup heavy cream, warmed
salt, to taste
white pepper, to taste
16 flour tortillas, 6-inch
pepper jack cheese, shredded, to taste
16 fried corn taco shells
lime juice
pico de gallo, carrot

Steps:

  • Cover the potatoes with cold water and simmer until tender, about 20-25 minutes.
  • Warm the chopped garlic in the butter over low heat until softened but not browned, about 10 minutes. Add the cream and bring to a boil.
  • Coarsely mash the potato mixture and fold in the warm garlic mixture while the potatoes are still warm.
  • Season to taste with salt and white pepper. Keep warm.
  • Make the double-decker taco shell: on a griddle over low heat, sprinkle a tortilla with about 2 tablespoons shredded pepper jack cheese. Once the cheese melts, place the fried corn taco shell on the cheesy tortilla and press the tortillas together to create the double decker taco.
  • Mix the warm potatoes with lime juice and place in the double decker taco. Top with 2-3 tablespoons of Carrot Pico de Gallo.
  • Enjoy!

GIANT DOUBLE DECKER TACO



Giant Double Decker Taco image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups vegetable oil
4 large flour tortillas
3/4 cup grated Mexican blend cheese
Ground Beef Taco Meat, recipe follows
1/2 head iceberg lettuce, shaved
1/2 cup sour cream or Mexican crema, stirred slightly to loosen
2 Roma tomatoes, diced
Sliced pickled jalapeños, for garnish
Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
1 pound ground chuck or sirloin-the leaner the better
5 ounces Mexican chorizo, removed from casing
1 small yellow onion, minced
1 tablespoon chipotle powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 cloves garlic, grated on a rasp
1/2 cup tomato puree
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Fit a sheet pan with a wire rack.
  • Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a large braiser or cast-iron skillet.
  • Using tongs, slip half of a tortilla in the hot oil to form a taco shell shape. Using a metal spatula with the other hand, keep half the tortilla submerged until golden. Turn the tortilla so that the fried part now sticks out of the oil, letting the bottom fry, while making sure to keep the tortilla open about 2 inches wide. (This creates the necessary space to stuff it!) Then gently turn the tortilla and repeat the process so that the remaining side fries to a golden brown while the rest stays out of the oil. Let the taco shell drain on the lined sheet pan. Fry another tortilla in this manner; reserve the other two tortillas.
  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Place one unfried tortilla in a pan and top it edge to edge with cheese. Lightly broil until the cheese is just melted, but the tortilla isn't toasted. While still hot, "stick" the cheesy, non-crispy tortilla to the outside of a fried tortilla shell. Repeat with the remaining tortilla, cheese and fried shell.
  • Now build! Fill the cavity of the taco with some warm Taco Meat, followed by some lettuce, a drizzle of sour cream, tomatoes, jalapeños and cilantro.
  • Serve with your favorite taco bib.
  • Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the beef and chorizo and brown, breaking the meat up constantly into smaller little bits, until no longer pink, 6 to 8 minutes. (If there is a lot of rendered fat, remove all but 1 tablespoon of the fat.)
  • Add the onions, chipotle powder and cumin. Cook until the onions are soft, another 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for just another 30 seconds. Add the tomato puree and simmer, stirring frequently, for another 10 minutes. You want this taco meat to be pretty "tight" and dehydrated, not soupy or loose! Season to taste with salt and pepper.

DOUBLE DECKER TACOS



Double Decker Tacos image

The best tacos! A soft shell taco is layered with refried beans, then wrapped around a hard shell taco, which is filled with seasoned ground beef and topped with cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, sour cream and fresh guacamole. You can top it with whatever you like, but I recommend loading it up! Also, if you don't eat meat, put melted cheese on the soft shell, and the refried beans in the hard.

Time 45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound ground beef
1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning mix, divided
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
⅔ cup water
12 prepared crisp taco shells
2 avocados
1 tablespoon sour cream
1 fresh lime, juiced
salt and black pepper to taste
12 (7 inch) flour tortillas
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 large tomato, chopped
¼ red onion, chopped
½ cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Place the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, and sprinkle about 3/4 of the packet of taco seasoning over the meat. Cook and stir the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks, until the beef is browned and crumbly, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the excess grease.
  • Mash the refried beans with the water in a small saucepan, and sprinkle with the rest of the seasoning packet. Heat the refried beans over low heat until simmering.
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Place the crisp taco shells on a baking sheet, and warm them in the preheated oven for 3 to 5 minutes.
  • To make the guacamole, peel, seed, and mash the avocados in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of sour cream, the lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.
  • To build the tacos, spread each flour tortilla with about 2 tablespoons of heated refried beans. Wrap the tortilla gently around a crisp tortilla shell. Spread about 2 tablespoons of ground beef along the bottom of the crisp shell, and sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded Cheddar cheese on top of the meat. Top the cheese with shredded lettuce, a sprinkle of chopped tomato and onion, and a dollop of sour cream and guacamole.

DOUBLE TACOS



Double Tacos image

Crunchy and soft tacos make a great couple. The soft taco, layered with a mixture of refried beans and cheese, act as a cushion to keep the crunchy taco shell, filled with taco meat and toppings, from breaking. It's fun for kids and adults, too! This recipe is versatile and toppings are a matter of preference. We prefer shredded cheese, sour cream, lettuce, hot sauce, and sometimes guacamole. Enjoy!

Time 30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 ¼ pounds ground beef
½ onion, chopped
1 (1.25 ounce) package dry taco seasoning mix
¾ cup water
1 (14 ounce) can refried beans
4 ounces processed cheese food, cubed
10 (6 inch) flour tortillas, warmed
10 crisp taco shells, warmed

Steps:

  • Cook ground beef and onion in a skillet over medium heat until beef is completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain excess grease from the skillet.

  • Stir taco seasoning mixture into ground beef and onion mixture; simmer on medium-low heat while preparing the remaining ingredients.

  • Wrap tortillas around the crisp taco shells, using bean mixture to stick the tortillas to the shells.
