Ingredients
Vegetable oil for frying
4 large flour tortillas
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup jarred salsa
1 tsp vegetable oil
1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 tbsp chili powder
3/4 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1 can (15 oz.) refried beans, warmed
10 cups chopped romaine lettuce
Topping options: shredded Cheddar, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped red onion, sliced black olives, cooked corn kernels, pickled or fresh jalapeno slices, chopped avocado, guacamole, sour cream, salsa crushed tortilla or corn chips
Directions
- Fill a large, heavy skillet with 1-inch-deep oil over medium heat; heat to 350°F.

- In a medium nonstick skillet. Heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef, onion and garlic and cook, breaking up clumps with the back of a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, oregano and salt and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until liquid has thickened. Remove from heat.
- Place shells onto serving plates and fill with beans, meat, lettuce, and toppings, as desired.
