Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • Cooking oil

Instructions
 

  • Mix ground beef and spices together in a medium bowl (I use my hands to mix)
  • Wrap a stack of tortillas in a damp kitchen towel, then place them in a microwave-safe resealable plastic bag (keep the bag open to vent). Microwave until warm and flexible, about 1 minute.
  • Spoon uncooked ground beef mixture on half of the warm corn tortillas, fold the tortillas over, and set aside
  • Heat 1 cup of vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Fry tacos in oil, 3 to 4 at a time, until golden brown on both sides.
  • Place tacos on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
