HOW TO FRY A TACO SHELL

[@Swetich77]

Your pan is the reason I knew I didn’t have to look up any other video! Thank you!

[@KianaG1280]

I love how you said your frying pan has seen better days. Haven't we all😅

[@MyKitchenCorner]

Thank you so much for watching.

[@Davinia77]

Probably has tons of flavor too

[@latedrifter5453]

It's 2020 and this mom is still liberating people from soggy taco shells!!! The perfectly crispy taco shell has eluded me for years. I've had the oil too high this entire time and used an inferior brand of tortilla to fry. They now come out as they do at the taqueria down the street from me. This is LEGIT the WAY!!!

[@MyKitchenCorner]

Thank you so much for such an awesome comment. Happy to know your tacos are crispy and that you're frying them at home.

[@wassabij1135]

When my mom isn't home I have to watch this to survive 😪

[@MyKitchenCorner]

THANKS J, I HOPE SHE'S HOME AND THAT YOU'RE MAKING THE TACOS...... LOL. THANK YOU FOR WATCHING....... CHRISTINA

[@Bubble23428]

My Kitchen Corner lol when my mom was not home I make 1 taco shell and I add dumplings in it also I put Sriacha and seaweed on it

I tried frying taco shells and they didn't turn out well at all. I went to You Tube and typed in How to make toco shells & got your video. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! You rescued my meal😁

I could listen to your voice all day… It’s so pretty, you should read bedtime stories, I’d pay good money to listen to that… Thanks for the tortilla advice, good luck to you!!

[@langenfeld200]

My mom is now disabled but before she lost her ability to cook she made these for every taco night. These are my favorite things she made so I wanted to give it a go. Thank God for KZbin tutorials!

[@gd.523]

Thanks for this tutorial I accidentally picked up corn tortillas instead of my usual flour tortillas and I wasn’t sure what to do now I realize that corn taste so much better than flour for 🌮.

[@elonbust2421]

I did that once and learned how to cook them now I prefer them over flor

[@gailbisho1958]

I love that frying pan. Old School. Very helpful! Ty

[@mterrington]

I've been following your tips for several months. I never knew there was a smooth side to a corn tortilla, but there is! Knowing that and lower heat made all the difference in the world. My tacos are a lot better!

[@MarauderXXX]

Same here. About to try this right now.

[@shannonlee3671]

Thank you for this! My hubby is 1/2 hispanic and on his father side they fry the shells with the cooked meat. I had never done tacos like this before as my mother always just bought the boxed taco shells. One night i told hubby i wanted true tacos and he was so excited. He didnt think this white girl could do it lol, but i nailed it. Made the traditional deep fried chicken tacos. Even did tortilla chips and bean dip. However i did it this way first, wich i personally prefer as they are way less greasy. Thank you again luv!

[@allhernandez8024]

Mexican food

[@markenriquez1486]

I beg to disagree, ma'am. I'm half Mex/American and my mom was from England. Traditional to me, because of how my mom made them would have to be hamburger meat (fried with the cooked meat inside them) topped with lettuce, tomato, onion and cheese... but to each, his own! Also I hate those damn floppy corn tortillas with only meat in them. When I asked for tacos at a Mex restaurant in Chicago (my truck driver days) they brought me floppy tacos and said they were "estilo Jalisco" (Jalisco style) tacos. I said that was estilo lazy ass, and to take em back, fry em and put lettuce, tomato, onions and cheese. Of course because I made them work "extra-hard" they charged me more.

[@trailerparkcryptoking5213]

You’re the only one on KZbin that knows how to properly fry taco shells! You’re the bomb! You know how to hold them open with the thongs! 😂

[@georgeteasley3869]

I have never known how to do this. And i never even tried once. I watched this ONE time, tried to make a few shells as practice and they came out PERFECTLY. Way better than store bought hard shells because these stay crispy without falling apart like store bought does. Thank you for this video.

[@augieschultz2530]

This is what I was looking for, the technique. You make it look easier than I know it is. Wish I could stand in your kitchen and watch you do a tray full of these. Last thing, your voice was made for doing these types of videos. Thank you.

[@cakebatter550]

What? I never noticed there was a smooth side & a bumpy side. My hubby always cooked his shells on med high. I’m going to try your method next time. Thank you

[@mattmayo3539]

As soon as I heard you pronounce Guerrero correctly. I knew I was in good hands.

[@ohioladybug7390]

What a great video! First I never realized there was a smooth side on the tortilla and the technique makes so much sense. I also love that you have a favorite pan and it doesn’t look new from the stove - mine sure don’t.

[@allhernandez8024]

[@JKThom-59]

This worked for me! Thank you for demystifying this process. I fry one at a time in a small pan and use a wooden spoon across the pan to rest half of tortilla while the other half gets crispy. I only make four tacos at a time.

[@a9966]

Thank you for a thorough explanation. Helpful!

[@KellyS25]

Thank you so much! I tried this, and it took until my third try to get it to work. The first two fell apart; probably because they weren't fully thawed after freezing them. The one that worked was so good, especially with a little salt. This is going to save me so much money! :)

[@ClaytonJay]

Thank you this video was very great I am now going to try to do this tonight for dinner

[@reidhill9820]

Great video, thank you so much. I decided to try them and since I am lazy I decided to cut jalapeños in half long ways and put them inside the tortillas when it came time to fold them and keep them open.I used one maybe one and a half jalapeños per shell.... once they got rather brown I replaced them with new ones so as not to get a burnt flavor. 😊

[@deloradoreview4481]

Thank you so much, we were totally out of shells but my wife bought corn tortillas so this was super helpful! You saved taco night, thank you!

[@Avacarho]

I not Mexican, but I love to cook all kinds of food and bought some masa harina and a cast iron tortilla press from my local Hispanic grocery store just so I can make tortillas for tacos, and burritos, and make tamales and empanadas. I can't wait to try this as your taco shells look so delicious, Christina.

[@MyKitchenCorner]

Wow! I love homemade tortillas, I hope yours are delicious, tacos are always 100% better (not fried) with homemade tortillas. I recommend store bought tortillas for frying, because they are thinner and do not retain so much grease when fried. Homemade tortillas will retain more grease because they're thicker. You might want to make gorditas and sopes on a flat grill or cast iron pan without lard or oil and are sooooo gooooooooooooooodddddd. LOl This is making me hungry! Please let me know how your masa adventure is coming along. Make some videos! Share with us. Christina

Great thanks but why did my most trusty frying pan where I would get the most flavor after searing meats etc. N we weren't even together anymore. Lol I will try your way tonight for my turkey tacos.

Hi thanks for this. I never did low but they come out too chewy. So you mean low is like what a 1 or 2 on the dial or is it really where it says "low"?

[@markenriquez1486]

I just wanted to add that I also think Guerrero is the best because the other tortillas came apart in layers when fried, but these tend to stay together.

If I have no appetite, I just add cilantro and I’ve cleared my plate😂 My ex husband HATED cilantro so now I’m searching for a new husband that loves it...Ok maybe not, but it makes me laugh

[@MyKitchenCorner]

Wow! What an awesome comments you've given me. I am so sorry I didn't respond sooner, I just read it this morning. I love cilantro as well. Especially a warmed up tortilla with a slice of cheese and cilantro or Spanish rice made with cilantro. Yum! I agree, I wouldn't tolerate a husband that didn't eat cilantro. Hope you are well during this time. Warm hugs and well wishing. Christina

[@ilyasmulla1287]

Can you use flour tortillas instead?

[@davidgray2845]

Thanks for posting this! I thought that’s how it’s done, but I wanted to make sure before doing it. If I can say one thing (respectfully). I know you love that pan. On a coated non-stick pan. Once it gets scratched to where you can see the metal, it’s leaching toxic chemicals into your food. I’m not throwing shade or telling you to get a new pan. I just wanted to pass that along in case you didn’t know. Thank you again for this video 😃
