Directions

1. In 10" skillet over medium heat, in hot oil, fry 1 tortilla at a time, about 30 seconds on each side, until lightly browned and blistered. - I brown mine in less oil, works fine.
2. With tongs remove tortilla to paper towels to drain.
3. Discard any unused oil. - If using ground turkey or chicken, I'd leave 1/2 to 1 Tbl of oil to cook meat.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
5. In same skillet over high heat, cook ground beef, onion, and garlic until all pan juices evaporate and meat is well browned, stirring occasionally.
