Hi Shirley! That is a great question. If you are using meat such as ground beef, I recommend cooking it separately before assembling tacos. The frying of the tacos makes the contents hot and the tortilla crispy. The cooking of meat would require a longer frying time, which would probably lead to burnt tortillas.

Sandy, sorry we took so long to respond! If you’re using a gas stove, medium-high is a good place to start. You can test it out with a few tortilla triangles (which will become a great appetizer!). The heat will need adjusting as you cook, though, because tacos will cool the oil a bit. Good luck!

Yes, maybe we should have been more clear on that part, Jenny. Sorry! We chop the sweet potatoes (or regular potatoes) into very small cubes, and saute them with a little olive oil until they get tender. You can speed the process up by adding water after they brown a bit and cover to steam for a few minutes. Then add your beans and cook until heated through.

Thanks KellyAnn! Those versions both sound delicious as well. We’d love to see pictures on Facebook if you end up making some!
