I don't cheat often, but when I do I cheat with tacos

If you like Mexican food - there are two different flavors - Authentic and well what we call Tex-Mex.  I think the way my family prepares tacos would probably fall in the latter.  It is a staple for our family and the one thing my daughter prefers I make when she visits.  I have never met anyone who prepares tacos quite the same way.  So here goes -

Ingredients

• Corn Tortillas - the thinner the better - I like Mission extra-thin - not cold - room temperature
• Hamburger Meat
• Cheddar Cheese - grated
• Lard - like crisco
• Toppings - hot sauce, lettuce, tomato and onion
• Guacamole (optional)
• Sour Cream (optional)

Directions

• Cook the hamburger until browned and drain.
• Heat the lard up  - you want it as hot as you can get without it smoking
• Spoon a large spoon of the meat into the tortilla and holding it like a taco, place it into the hot grease and hold it there for a second so that the crease will stay when you lay it down
• Brown on one side then turn and brown on the other side.  Tortilla should be crispy before turning it.
• Pull out and place on a paper towel to drain any residual grease and put a generous amount of cheese in it.
• Lightly salt the outside of the shell
• Top with whatever you like and enjoy!
