Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Corn tortillas
- 2 cups Refried beans
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Crumbled queso fresco
- 1 cup Mexican crema or sour cream
- 1 cup Salsa (your choice: red or green)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Heat the refried beans in a skillet over medium heat and season with a pinch of salt if needed. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of refried beans onto one side of a tortilla, spreading it evenly, and fold the tortilla in half to form a taco. Press gently but firmly to seal. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and beans.
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 350°F (175°C). To test, drop a small piece of tortilla into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
Carefully place 2-3 tacos at a time into the hot oil (do not overcrowd the pan). Fry for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with the remaining tacos.
To serve, arrange the tacos on a platter. Top with shredded lettuce, crumbled queso fresco, a drizzle of Mexican crema, and your choice of salsa.
Serve immediately and enjoy while still warm and crispy!
