Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Taco Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine crispy pimento cheese, cooked taco beef, diced tomatoes, chopped lettuce, and sliced jalapeños. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Fry the Taco Shells

    Carefully place one corn tortilla at a time in the hot oil. Fry for about 30 seconds on each side until crispy and golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assembly

    Assemble the Tacos

    Take a crispy taco shell and fill it generously with the taco filling prepared earlier. Top with sour cream, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
