Easy Crispy Taco Turnovers image

These are pretty easy, tasty and are a great appetizer or snack before the football games start, or you could even add beans/rice and Margaritas for a meal! For a more South-of-the-Border taste, add some diced Jalapeno peppers or green chilies before frying these. ;)

Time 17m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb lean ground beef (can use ground turkey if you like)
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced or pressed (optional)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon chili powder (I like mine spicy and use a little more)
2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese (or cheese of your choice)
1 cup diced tomato
1 cup diced jalapenos or 1 cup green chili (optional)
4 large wheat flour tortillas
oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Brown together the ground beef or turkey, onion and garlic in a heavy frying pan over medium heat, until meat looses pinkness.
  • Add salt and chili powder to meat, mixing well.
  • Put 1/2 cup of the ground beef filling, 1/2 cup of cheese, and 1/2 cup of tomatoes onto one half of each tortilla adding your jalapeno/green chilies now if you want to use them.
  • Fold the other half of tortilla over and press to remove any air pockets.
  • Heat oil in pan to medium high, and when hot, place filled tortillas into the pan 1 or 2 at a time, size of pan permitting.
  • Saute over medium high heat until golden brown on each side, approximately 45 seconds per side.
  • Remove and place on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  • Cut into wedges and serve!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my turnovers came out dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

These turnovers were a great way to use up leftover taco meat. They were also a fun and easy meal to make with my kids.

I love that this recipe uses wonton wrappers. They're so much easier to work with than pie crust.

These turnovers were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would use less chili powder next time.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The turnovers were still delicious.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my turnovers came out soggy. I think I might have added too much oil to the pan.

These turnovers were a great way to get my kids to eat their vegetables. I snuck some chopped spinach into the filling and they didn't even notice!

These turnovers were a little bit bland. I think I would add some extra spices to the filling next time.

I had a hard time finding wonton wrappers at my local grocery store. I ended up using egg roll wrappers instead and they worked just fine.

These turnovers were a little bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I'm not a huge fan of tacos, but these turnovers were amazing. The filling was flavorful and the pastry was crispy.

I used ground turkey instead of beef and they were still delicious. I would definitely make these again!
