If you’ve ever wondered what actress Kate Hudson’s go-to meal is for busy nights, look no further than her 4-ingredient tacos. Before you assume these are your average fast-food-style tacos, think again. Hudson’s taco technique is what sets them apart. Instead of simply warming the tortillas, she fries them in oil before adding the ground beef filling — then fries them again. The result is a crispy yet chewy texture that makes them irresistible.
Servings: 10-12
Ingredients:
- • 1 onion, chopped
- • 2 lbs. ground beef
- • 1 pkg. taco seasoning
- • Vegetable or avocado oil
- • Corn tortillas
- • Toppings — sour cream, shredded cheese, cilantro, salsa, guacamole
Directions:
- • Sauté the chopped onion in a pan with a bit of oil until softened. • Add ground beef and cook until browned, seasoning it with your favorite taco seasoning.
- • In a large skillet, heat oil until shimmering.
- • Carefully add one tortilla and let it bubble slightly.
- • Working quickly, spoon some of the ground beef mixture into the tortilla, then and close with a spatula and tongs.
- • Fry the taco for about 10 seconds per side until golden brown and slightly crispy.
- • Remove from the oil and let drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- • Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- • Serve with preferred toppings.
