Beef & Potato Tacos     

Ingredients:
1/2 lb. ground beef
taco seasoning
1/2 lb. russet potatoes
4 oz. shredded Queso Fresco
12 corn tortillas
Vegetable oil for frying about 1/3 cup total
Toppings: sour cream, lettuce, cheese, guacamole, salsa

Preparation:
Brown the ground beef, add taco seasoning.

Peel and cube the potatoes. Place them into a medium pot, cover with water, and boil for about 10-15 minutes, or until fully cooked through. Drain the potatoes and place them into a medium mixing bowl. Mash them with a potato masher. Add the Queso Fresco. Stir in beef, mix everything well.

Place a spoonful of mixture on one half of the tortilla, leaving the other half empty, so it can be folded over later. Press the mixture with your hand, for easier handling later. Repeat this step for all of the tortillas.

Pour some vegetable oil into a large skillet. You’ll need just enough to cover the bottom (about 3 tablespoons). Put your taco in the skillet, wait for 15-20 seconds, and gently fold the empty side on top of the potato side. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Serve with toppings as desired.
