Docking the tortillas with a fork (just make a bunch of little holes in the surface with a fork), helps a lot to keep them from developing any large air pockets while frying, little tip I've learned from making taco shells like this thousands of times in the restaurant days.

​@Novictus depends. Northern new mexico tacos are ground beef mixed with diced potatoes that have been boiled first. (This was done back in the day to extend the beef for a family dinner) seasoning is just salt and pepper but can use seasoned salt. Corn tortilla that is lightly fried so it is crispy but soft

Yes! I grew up eating tacos just like this and always absolutely loved them. While I grew to eventually prefer street tacos in the style of LA and Tijuana, there's absolutely still a place for a good Gringo Taco, whether it be from Taco Bell (fine), Del Taco (much better), or the very best; HOME MADE

When I lived in east LA, my girlfriends Mexican grandmother would put the meat (after cooking it) in the tortilla and then pan fry it in oil. Just like you did with the shell. Except we only used one set of tongs to hold the top of the tortillas together. Done one at a time. Put on a paper towel on a plate afterwards. Salt both sides immediately after taking it out. Just a little salt. And doing one taco at a time. Love these tacos! @Brian Lagerstrom, You should try it this way sometime.

I can't thank you enough for your recipes, but importantly, your careful explanations and your STYLE. My wife and I were one of 4 couples in a monthly supper club where someone in the other couples were either former or current chefs and I learned so much from them but that supper club is no more. Your videos have brought me back to a point where learning to cook new and better is again a great focus in my life. Just so you know, I work 40+ works a week and so quick, easy, and tasteful is perfect for me and my wife. THANK YOU!

As a midwesterner, this gives me great joy. Thank you! Love you, fam!

Authentic street tacos are better without a doubt, but American tacos like this are still quite tasty and a good way to mix it up.

I made these last night. The taco meat has so much more flavor than the popular recipe sites which call for adding spices to hamburger meat. The tacos along with the sauce were the best I've ever had. The only thing that could make them any better would be to hire a mariachi band.

In Chicago IL, I crave the fat beef tacos, where the beef *inside* the shell prior to deep frying, but it is difficult to pull off at home! I love that tortilla holder! Thanks for sharing your great talents!! Will be trying this!

I have to say that I deeply appreciate that you write the weights of the ingredients in your recipes. I don't live in America and I find that for veggies and such, whatever we have almost always weighs half or less per unit than what you write. But I do wish you have a website with printable recipes cause it takes forever to write them down.

We used to brush the tortilla with oil and hang them off of the oven rack to get crunchy shells. It's not perfect but it works.

That sweep swig of taco sauce is how I check for sauce quality, too. Good man. 👍

Once I started frying my taco shells there was no going back!😆. PLS PLS post a printable recipe link, all of your recipes are fantastic!!! TY!

Love this! I must give it a try! I usually squash raw meat on half a fresh taco shell, put unmeat side down in about a quarter inch of hot oil, cook until crisp then flip it over to the meat side and cook until done! You need to pry it open a little to slide a thickish piece of cheese into it and and a slice of tomatoe! Put some lettuce in and hot sauce and voila! It sounds harder than it is! Learned from a Mexican who learned from his mom! Salt and pepper meat before frying!💪🏻

Fantastic!! Would love to see a fried taco recipe one of these days, like jack in the box but better (similar to Hotshots here in MO). Love what you do and will be buying my very own taco tongs, thank you!

sauce is really good. struggle to find dried chiles here so i just used a single serrano but it turned out great.

LOL!! Dude I laughed out loud several times. Bravo!

You havent changed since highschool bro, keep it up 💪 your videos are great and entertaining lol. Hope you're doing well ❤

Could you do a video on what to do post cooking with oil? like a how to re-use video for oil and other stuff?

And now I'm making this for dinner tonight!

"Make your own tacos" has been one of my go-to family dinner dishes for ages; I used to make it with straight-up ground beef and lately I've been making a kickass carne asada. Tonight I made the ground beef filling from this recipe and it was a *huge* hit. Served it with hard and soft taco shells, rice, diced tomato, lettuce, grated carrot, shred cheese, guacamole and salsa; usually I julienne some cucumber as well but I didn't have any.

@brianlagerstromm Um, what?

Have to agree on the fried taco shells. Totally different taste and texture.

Fantastic!

I'm happy to see you incorporating the dried chilies into your taco sauce. I do the same for the meat, subbing out some of the chili powder.

Going to make this.

Been making your older recipe for this for a while and everyone loves it. I can't tell yet what's much different here. I tried those tongs before but prefer a more u shaped rather than v shaped shell. Amazon has some other 2 piece metal molds sort of things you should check out. You could deep fry with them just the same but i shallow fry and flip them. Pretty hands off.

Brian, there is (at least) a third shell method between the two. As a kid in the proto-70s, I lived in California's central valley. My mother had someone make up a bunch of taco shell forms. These were, like your tongs, taco shell shapes inside and outside of the food. Made of pierced sheet metal (like vent coverings), they held the shape while (with several pairs) several shells cooked. And, key difference, they could be shaped as you wanted. I like shells with a wide bottom -- no problem. I've been soft tortilla lately, but feel a set of these in my future.

Buying that frying tool! Tacos every Tuesday in this house though husband makes burritos

Yum! I miss your dancing at the end of your videos! 😊

I came here to watch the video on sourdough for beginners, but clicked this afterward out of curiosity. I will now feel personally indebted to you forever. May God bless your sweet ingenious little soul for the rest of your natural born life.❤

I love store taco mix but I get the low sodium version and add cayenne to the mix. I put the seasoning pack in a short mason jar and add 1 TBSP to about 1/4 lb. of 80/20 ground beef. Add a little water after browned and good ta go! I always buy organic taco shells. I prefer organic peanut oil for frying. It's the best. Yes, it's worth it to buy taco holders. $20 for four. Totally worth it. OMG Bri I had no idea they had a lil taco holder for frying! Spend the money, be happy! Oh no I always put down grated cheese, first and then the meat and then salted thin-sliced cabbage and then the sour cream and then the avocado and salsa verde on to with half-sliced cherry tomatoes tucked in on the side of the shell. Heaven!

Every time I watch one of these videos where you use that blue Le Crueset pan, I have to give a little chuckle. I also live in St. Louis, and I have the same pan - same color and everything. I believe it’s actually a risotto pan. I bought mine on special from Williams Sonoma, and it’s been a minute. I do love that pan. It’s probably use one I use the most. That’s all.

Dude this is like better than taco bell.. I wanna start a food truck

I put a teaspoon or 2 of cocoa powder in my taco meat. It brings out a beefy flavor that is really good.
