just like at the restaurant. So easy and so good.
An empty can (I use a can of black beans or kidney beans that I add to my Taco salad when the bolws are done)
3-quart pot (one that's a little smaller in diameter than your flour tortillas)
Vegetable Oil
10 inch Flour Tortillas (as many as you need)
Make sure the label is completely off your empty can. Wash and dry it thoroughly. Once you do this you don’t have to do it again, I keep my can on the shelf with my pots.
Heat about 1 1/2 inches of oil in pot to 375 degrees. Use a thermometer to test the oil or with the bottom of a wooden spoon... just place the wood spoon in the hot oil and if it bubbles then it's ready!
Place 1 tortilla on top of the oil in the pot. Hold the can with long-handled tongs, place can on center of tortilla. Push tortilla into oil by gently pushing the can down.
Fry tortilla with the can about 5 seconds or until set. Remove can with tongs. Fry the tortilla 1 to 2 minutes longer, turning it in oil until it's crisp and golden brown.
Carefully remove tortilla from oil and drain excess oil from the inside. Turn tortilla shell upside down on paper towels to cool.
Repeat with remaining tortillas.
