Ingredients

  • 1 16 oz can of Bush's Cocina Latina™ Frijoles Charros Machacados
  • 1 cup of pork meat cooked and shredded
  • 16 tortillas
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying
  • 8 romaine lettuce leaves washed and finely chopped
  • 1 avocado
  • 4 tablespoons sour cream
  • Red salsa to taste

Utensilios

  • A steamer
  • Individual foil sheets

Instructions

  • Add the shredded, cooked pork to Bush's Frijoles Charros Machacados, stir and warm the mixture up on the stove over medium heat. Set apart.
  • Warm up 1/2 inch of oil in a skillet or medium sized pan that is at least a bit larger than the diameter of your tortillas.
  • When the oil is hot, carefully place a tortilla in the oil for just a few seconds. You will see a change in color and it might inflate a bit.
  • Using wooden tongs, turn the tortilla over for a few more seconds, then lift it out of the oil, let the excess oil drain off, then place it on a plate.
  • Now place a cold tortilla on top of the fried tortilla.
  • Next, take another tortilla and do the same. Remember to alternate one fried, one cold as you stack your tortillas. This is a trick my Aunts taught me.
  • When all the tortillas are ready, you can begin making the tacos. Fill a tortilla with the bean and pork mix, fold it in half, and place it on a sheet of aluminum foil.
  • Repeat this until you have 3, 4, or 5 tacos, depending on the portion size you want to make. Fold the ears of the aluminum foil up to create a little package of tacos. Continue until all your tacos are wrapped up.
  • The advantage of using individual sheets of aluminum foil is you will have ideal portions for each member of the family; for example, you can wrap up four tacos for adults, and two or three for children.
  • Also, it helps with clean up, because you can serve the tacos just like that right in the foil.
  • If you are making them ahead of time, just place the packages in a steamer and let them steam for 10-15 minutes when it's time to eat.
  • Serve with lettuce, salsa, cream and avocado. Yum!
