Big Fat Taco










Big Fat Taco

I am calling these the Big Fat Taco.

So it is like a Chalupa.  I am seeing how other people used these and put some oil on it and cooked in a pan.  I already had a pan full of oil for tortillas for making some enchiladas going on.  So I thought why not put the whole thing in here.  First I softened up the flatbread in the microwave for 15 seconds.  So it would fold without breaking.   For frying keep the oil under 350 degrees.  Even turn off the burner while you put the flat bread in.  I did burn one.  It does not take long at all to fry.  Fold it before you put it in the oil with the tongs.  Pull out maybe 30 seconds or so.  When it is light brown.

I added Chicken, spanish rice, el pato & lettuce.  Turned out so good.  Could not believe how amazing it tasted.  I used leftovers ingredients for it, thinking I did not want to spend all this time making a new filling if the bread was not edible.  

I will have a recipe coming soon to make a chalupa from dough.  This is super easy though.  Try it out.

Taco Boy’s- Taco Review - Tempe AZ

Image
Taco Boy’s On Rural North of Apache Blvd. 1015 S. Rural Rd, Tempe, AZ   My cousin Kelsee Recommended this one.  Thanks Kelsee! They have a location in Phoenix and the Tempe location is a newer one.  Great place, great atmosphere and busy.  Opens  at 10am  and people are outside waiting.   Everything for the most part just comes with meat on the tortilla and you can dress it how you please from their salsa bar, cilantro, onions, sauces, cabbage and so on.  I really liked that aspect of it.   The tortillas are not made in house.  They are made by a vendor, but made fresh daily.  The cashier, not sure who he is was very friendly with me asking him about the tortillas.  Not all the taco shops have been as friendly, they sometimes take great offense to being asked if they make them in house.  Taco Boy’s has some class.   I will work on asking it, as smoothly and nicely as ...

Biscuit Tacos

Image
Biscuit Tacos Turned out so good.  I bought these taco molds from Amazon, seem to work pretty good.  Had a disaster with frying wonton wrappers, but that is a different story.   Take some buttermilk biscuits add flour and roll them out and thin as you can.  I would recommend rolled all of the ones you are going to cook at once.  I noticed the 2 I saved for later were harder to work with being out of the fridge and opened.   I put the rolled out biscuits in the taco molds.  I can imagine that you could use a wad of foil or something to make these.  I used the airfryer, for speed and I like how it cooks bread.  I cooked at 350 degrees for 7 minutes or so turning it 3 times. It may take longer depending on your airfyer or oven.   I made Pepper Gravy from Walmart or Sams.  It is pretty cheap and easy to make.  Don’t make gravy from scratch too much, because of this mix. I...

Crumbl Cookie Review 01/18/22 week of Jan 17-22

Crumbl Cookie Review 01/18/22 week of  Jan 17-22   PEANUT BUTTER FT. REESE’S PEANUT BUTTER CUP Our signature peanut butter cookie topped with melty peanut butter chips and chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.  This one the cookie was pretty peanut buttery and I liked it.  The reese’s toppings were great.   8/10   The Copycat recipe I feel tasted better than the actual crumbl. The Copycat was thinner and easier to eat chew and better texture.  Copycat recipe is from @Chahinex_tbt  https://lifestyleofafoodie.com/crumbl-peanut-butter-reeses-cookies/#recipe-link .     9/10   ROCKY ROAD A dark chocolate cookie stuffed with gooey marshmallow filling then covered in semi-sweet chocolate chips and almonds. It was very chocolaty.  The middle with the marshmallow was the best part.  If I could recreate this for myself I would have smaller marshmallows spread all around that would cook inside the cookies...
