Why I Love This Recipe
Doritos were originally inspired by Mexican toasted tortilla snacks and were first created at Disneyland in California!
Ingredients You'll Need
1 lb raw hamburger meat
1 packet Old El Paso taco seasoning (original)
8 Doritos flavored hard taco shells
8 soft corn tortillas
Vegetable oil (for frying tortillas)
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
2 cups shredded lettuce
2 large tomatoes, diced
Directions
1. **Prepare the Hamburger Meat**: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, crumble the raw hamburger meat and cook it until brown, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. This should take about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
2. **Season the Meat**: Add the Old El Paso taco seasoning to the skillet containing the browned meat. Follow the seasoning package instructions, typically adding water, and simmer over low heat until the sauce is thickened and the flavors are well combined, about 3-5 minutes.
3. **Prepare the Corn Tortillas (Optional)**: In a separate skillet, heat a thin layer of vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, fry each soft corn tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until golden and slightly crispy. Drain on paper towels and keep warm.
4. **Warm the Taco Shells**: Preheat the Doritos flavored hard taco shells according to the package instructions. Usually, this involves a quick bake in the oven at a moderate temperature for a few minutes.
5. **Assemble the Tacos**: Fill each taco shell or fried corn tortilla with a generous helping of seasoned meat. Top with shredded cheese, then add shredded lettuce, and diced tomatoes.
6. **Serve**: Arrange the tacos on a serving platter or individual plates and serve immediately to maintain the crispness of the shells or tortillas.
