Ingredients

  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • About 4 cups filling of your choice (some of our favorites are beans + cheese, sweet potato + beans, soyrizo + potato)
  • Course salt
  • Hot sauce (optional)

Tools

  • Campfire or grill
  • Cast iron skillet
  • Cutting board
  • Foil
  • Knife
  • Skillet
  • Tongs

Method

  1. Warm the tortillas until they’re pliable in a small skillet or over the campfire. Keep them warm by wrapping them in a tea towel or some foil.
  2. Assemble the tacos by placing some filling inside each tortilla and folding the tortillas over to form a taco.
  3. Heat a couple of tablespoons of oil in a cast iron skillet. Working in batches, place a few tacos in the skillet and fry on each side until the fillings are heated through and the tortillas are crunchy.
  4. When they’re cooked through, place them on a paper towel lined plate, sprinkle with salt and hot sauce. Serve immediately.
