Best 4 Tacos Dorados De Frijoles Recipes

TACOS DORADOS (CRUNCHY TACOS)

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, add the potatoes with enough water to cover them. Cook until soft for about 15 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, mash the potatoes with a fork or potato masher.
• Add the flour, salt, pepper and chicken bouillon. Mix everything very well until all ingredients are integrated.
• In a nonstick skillet, add 2 tablespoons of oil and saute the onions on medium heat until soft. About 2 minutes.
• Add the mashed potato and integrate well with the onion. If using shredded beef or chicken, add it at this point.
• Before assembling the tacos, warm the tortillas in a ziploc bag until barely warm. This will prevent the tortilla from breaking when folding it!
• With a spoon, add some filling to half of the tortilla and fold gently. (See note #1)
• Fry the tacos in hot oil in a small skillet. Fry about 45 seconds to a minute per side. Keep your eye on them!
• Remove and place on a plate with paper towels to drain the excess oil. I also like to blot the top with a paper towel.
• Serve while hot and top them with Consomé, lettuce, radishes, queso fresco, Mexican crema, hot sauce, and a drizzle of lime juice.

TACOS DORADOS DE FRIJOLES

• When tortillas are soft and pliable, put 2-3 tbsp of the refried beans in the center, and fold them without breaking the botom of the tortilla.
• When the oil is hot enough, fry the tacos in batches, to the desired browness, and drain over a paper towel.

• Cook tomato filling until thick and reduced-around 5 minutes.

• Roll and secure with toothpicks OR assemble all and chill seam side down.

• If you are not using the toothpicks-I dont-place seam side down in the hot oil first.

• When done place 3 on each plate and top with Guacamole, cream and salsa.
• Garnish with Cilantro and cheese.

TACOS DORADOS DE PAPA (POTATO TACOS)

Steps:

• Add the tomatoes, onion and garlic to a blender, and blend until smooth.
• Heat a pot (preferably the same pot used to cook the potatoes to save on dishes) over medium and add ¼ cup of oil. Once hot and shimmering, add the blended tomato mixture. Cook until it starts to reduce and darken, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.
• Add the cooked potatoes to the pot and mash with a bean or potato masher until fully incorporated with the tomato mixture and just slightly chunky, but mostly smooth. Add salt, cumin and nutritional yeast, if using, and stir to combine. Turn off the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
• Add the shredded cabbage to a bowl with the lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Toss to incorporate, and set aside.
• Heat a dry (12-inch) skillet over medium. Warm all of the tortillas on each side in the dry skillet until soft and pliable, about 1 minute, and stack in a dish towel to keep warm. Add about ¼ cup of the potato mixture to half of each tortilla and fold over to cover. Try to keep the potato mixture completely tucked inside, then place the stuffed tortilla on a tray or plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with all of the tortillas.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining 1½ cups of oil in a separate skillet over medium. Test the oil temperature by dipping an end of a tortilla to check for bubbling. Once the oil is hot, add 4 to 5 tacos at a time to the skillet. Cook the first side for 1 to 3 minutes, then gently flip and cook for an additional 1 to 3 minutes until crispy and golden.
• Carefully remove the tacos from the hot oil and return to the paper towel-lined tray or plate to drain off excess oil. Cook the remaining tacos, adding additional oil as needed and scooping out any potato bits with a slotted spoon.
• Serve immediately with sour cream and shredded cabbage.
