Yield 12 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 30

2 cups Doritos Nacho Cheese-Flavored Tortilla Chips
1 cup all purpose flour
½ cup masa harina
2 tablespoons nacho cheese powder, plus more for dusting
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ cup vegetable shortening, melted
¾ cup water
nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
½ medium yellow onion
3 cloves garlic
olive oil, to taste
1 lb ground beef
2 teaspoons ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon granulated onion
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground beef bouillon
½ teaspoon msg
¼ teaspoon sugar
kosher salt, to taste
2 cups water, divided
2 tablespoons cornstarch
½ cup sour cream
½ cup iceberg lettuce, shredded
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tomato, diced

Steps:

  • Make the taco shells: Add the Doritos, flour, masa harina, nacho cheese powder, salt, and baking powder to a food processor. Process until the Doritos are broken down into fine crumbs. With the processor running, slowly pour in the melted lard and water. Continue processing until the dough comes together in a ball.
  • Transfer the dough to a piece of plastic wrap. Shape into a disc, wrap tightly, then refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease 2-3 baking sheets with nonstick spray.
  • Working with one dough ball at a time (keep the rest covered so they don't dry out), place between 2 sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Use a heavy skillet to press down evenly into a thin tortilla.
  • Transfer the tortilla to the griddle and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
  • Transfer the cooked tortilla to a large bowl lined with a kitchen towel and cover to keep warm while you cook the rest of the tortillas. The steam will help keep them moist and soft.
  • Arrange the tortillas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 3 minutes, until crisp. While still hot, carefully fold the tortillas into taco holders to set the shell shape. Dust with more nacho cheese powder. Let cool while you make the filling.
  • Add the onion and garlic to a food processor and drizzle with oil. Pulse until finely minced, scraping down the sides as needed.
  • Transfer the onion mixture to a large pan and sweat over medium-low heat until soft and translucent, 5- 7 minutes.
  • Add the ground beef, cumin, coriander, cayenne, garlic powder, granulated onion, paprika, chili powder, beef bouillon, MSG, sugar, and salt. Stir well to combine. Increase the heat to high and use a masher or whisk to break the meat into small pieces. Cook until the beef is golden brown and caramelized, about 5 minutes.
  • Deglaze the pan with ½ cup of water, stirring to scrape up any browned bits. 12. Continue cooking for about 10 minutes, until the liquid reduces.
  • In a liquid measuring cup or medium bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and remaining 1½ cups water. Add to the beef mixture and bring to a simmer. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
  • Use an immersion blender to purée about a quarter of the meat in the pan, then stir everything together.
  • To assemble, spoon the meat mixture into the taco shells. Top with sour cream, shredded lettuce, cheese, and diced tomatoes.
  • Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

SALVADORAN PUPUSAS AS MADE BY CURLY AND HIS ABUELITA RECIPE BY TASTY



Salvadoran Pupusas As Made By Curly And His Abuelita Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: green cabbage, small white onion, medium carrots, boiling water, distilled white vinegar, dried oregano, kosher salt, vegetable oil, boneless pork shoulder, salt, medium tomato, green bell pepper, small white onion, masa harina, salt, cold water, grated mozzarella cheese, refried bean, vegetable oil

Provided by Katie Aubin

Categories     Sides

Yield 18 pupusas

Number Of Ingredients 19

½ head green cabbage, cored and shredded
1 small white onion, sliced
2 medium carrots, grated
4 cups boiling water
1 cup distilled white vinegar
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 lb boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch (2-cm) cubes
1 teaspoon salt
1 medium tomato, diced
½ green bell pepper, diced
1 small white onion, diced
4 cups masa harina
2 teaspoons salt
3 cups cold water
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
1 cup refried bean, cooked
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Make the curtido: In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, onion, and carrots. Pour the boiling water over the vegetables and toss. Let sit for 10 minutes, then drain.
  • In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine the vinegar, oregano, and salt. Pour over the slaw and toss to coat. Once thoroughly mixed, transfer the curtido any any leftover liquid in the bowl to an airtight jar or container.
  • Chill for at least 20 minutes in the refrigerator, or chill overnight for best results.
  • Make the chicharrón: Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the pork shoulder and salt. Cook for 15 minutes without disturbing. If the pork is browning too quickly, reduce the heat to medium. Turn the pork over and let cook on the other side for 10 minutes more, or until crispy and golden brown.
  • Transfer the pork to a food processor and add the tomato, green bell pepper, and onion. Pulse until a thick paste forms. The mixture should not be watery. Set aside.
  • Make the pupusa dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the masa harina and salt, then add the water. Use your hands to mix until the dough comes together with a clay-like texture.
  • Fill a small bowl with water and a bit of oil and set near your work station. You'll wet your fingers with the mixture as you work to keep the dough from sticking to your hands.
  • Take a golf ball-sized portion of dough and roll into a ball, then flatten into an even round.
  • Fill the dough round with ½ tablespoon chicharrón paste, 1 teaspoon refried beans, and 1 teaspoon mozzarella cheese. Fold the dough over the filling until it's completely sealed. Then, pat out the ball between your hands until flat. If the pupusa cracks, patch it with a bit of dough and a little oil. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  • Heat a large pan or griddle over medium heat. Brush with vegetable oil, then place 2-3 pupusas on the pan and cook for 2-4 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown. Flip and cook on the other side for 2-4 minutes more, until golden brown and warmed through. Repeat with the remaining pupusas.
  • Serve the pupusas with curtido.
  • Enjoy!
