First Step: Chopping
First,
Chop everything up. If you have never chopped up an avocado before, don’t
panic. Put your knife on top, where the stem comes out, slice directly down
until you hit the seed, rotate the knife around the avocado, split it open,
remove the seed, deeply score the meet in both direction creating cubes, and
then scoop out the meet using a spoon.
In a bowl
stir together:
3 Cups Chopped Lettuce
3 Diced Tomatoes
Cilantro (cilantro is optional.)
1 Diced Avocado

Cheese |
Second Step: Grating Cheese
Grate 1/2
cup cheddar cheese and set it aside to be used later as a topping.

Third Step: Frying Soft Tortillas
If you have
never soft fried tortillas before now is your chance to learn. Don't skip
this step, or your tacos will be horrible.
Heat a
frying pan with 1/4th of an inch of corn oil in it. You will want the burner to
be set on medium high. Once your
oil has preheated for a few minutes, carefully lay one tortilla in for 5 seconds, then flip it over using tongs and
cook the other side for 5 seconds. The tortilla
will bubble slightly. Then remove
it from the pan, blot the oil off with a paper towel and SALT. Repeat this step until you have
fried about 20 tortillas. I say 20 because I find that most people in my
family like to eat some of the tortillas without any filling, and this can
cause a shortage of taco rappers.
(Never leave hot oil unattended, it could start a fire. I'm not trying to scare you--just
don't leave the burner on unattended while working on another part of your
recipe. Keep a sauce pan lid--that fits your frying pan--around any time you
fry with hot oil; this way, if there is a fire, you can suffocate it before
it spreads beyond the frying pan. Also, if you have any little children
around, make sure that the handle of the frying pan is not hanging over the
edge of the stove where they could possibly grab it). |

Fifth Step: Filling Soft Tacos
Now it is time to fill your tacos. Just put as much prepared filling as
you desire. Don't forget the cheese and onion!
( If you
wish, just take a serving bowl full of taco filling along with a bowl of
cheese and a bowl of onion to the dinner table and let your guests make
their own tacos. This way, everyone gets exactly what they want).
