Aunt June's Oklahoma Tacos

Ingredients:

·         1  package McCormick (or your favorite brand) Original Taco Seasoning Mix

·         ¾ cup Water

·         1 lb. Lean Ground Beef

·         12 Corn Tortillas

·         ¼ head Iceberg Lettuce, shredded

·         1 Ripe Tomato, diced

·         6oz Mild Cheddar Cheese, grated

·         6-8 Tbsp. Peanut Oil (or any vegetable oil for frying)

·         Optional: Salsa & Sour Cream

Directions:

Follow directions on seasoning packet to prepare taco meat. In an iron skillet, heat oil to medium high. Fry each tortilla for about ten seconds on each side, fold in half and fry for an additional ten seconds on each side. Do not over fry the tortillas; they should remain fairly flexible when done. Allow each tortilla to drain back into skillet before placing it on doubled up paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Line the bottom of the taco shell with cheese and fill with taco meat. Add lettuce, tomato, salsa and sour cream as desired.
