Equipment
- Skillet
- Tongs
- Slotted Spoon
- Paper Towels
Ingredients
Taco Filling
- 1/2 lb lean ground beef preferably 85% lean
- 1/4 cup refried beans
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 4 corn tortillas small size
- 2 slices of American cheese cut in half
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/4 cup taco sauce
For Frying
- 1 cup vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it into crumbles.
- Stir in the refried beans, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Cook for another 3 minutes to combine flavors.
- Warm each corn tortilla slightly to make them pliable. Place a small amount of the beef mixture on one side of the tortilla.
- Add half a slice of American cheese on top of the meat mixture. Fold the tortilla in half and press gently to seal.
- In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place each taco in the oil and fry for about 2 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
- Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Immediately open the tacos slightly and add shredded lettuce and taco sauce.
- Serve warm and enjoy your homemade Burger King-style tacos!
Notes
For a spicier version, add jalapeños or hot sauce before serving. Baking instead of frying is a great alternative for a healthier version.
