Heyyy Helpers!!! Welcome back to another edition of Food for Every Soul, a series by myself where I interview people from Help Force about their favorite and famous recipes! For this post, I decided to interview the sweet, active, helpful HF First Lieutenant: xchrissyx!
I started off by asking her some questions about this delicious recipe!
Hello xchrissyx! Thank you for me letting me interview you today! Can you tell us what recipe you will be telling us about today?
xchrissyx: Tacos Dorados. It’s one of my favorite dishes and pretty simple to make too.
Why is this recipe important to you, is it a family recipe or any history/story behind it?
xchrissyx: It’s one of the first dishes I learned to make taught by my mother. My mom and I haven’t had the best of relationships but cooking together is a moment we both enjoy. We both believe that food brings people together, and I think, her and I are a good example of that.
Here comes the best part, the Recipe!!! (As explained in detail by xchrissyx)
Ingredients:
» oil for frying (I like using corn oil)
» salt potatoes (I recommend the yellow ones)
» white tortillas
» lettuce (I like using iceberg lettuce)
» sour cream
» queso cotija
» salsa
Tacos Dorados
(feed about 4-6 people depending on how hungry you are lol)
1) After washing your potatoes, place 8-10 potatoes in a pot to cook for 25 minutes. A tip to bring it to a boil faster is putting a lid on. (Just be careful it doesn’t spill; lower it to a medium low.)
2) While waiting your potatoes to cook, this a great chance to cut up your lettuce to shreds and wash it. Using half of the head or less is enough.
3) Check if your potatoes are fully cooked by either poking a fork or knife into it. If it goes through smoothly, almost like butter, then they’re ready!
4) Carefully drain your potatoes through a colander and rinse them with cold water so they get to a lukewarm temperature. Once warm, start peeling the skin off.
5) In a mixing bowl, put your peeled potatoes and add a tablespoon of salt. You may add less or more salt depending on your preference.
6) Now grab a potato smasher and start smashing those potatoes! (If you don’t have one like I do, use the bottom of a cup to smash.)
7) Place a frying pan on the stove on high heat. Pour in your frying oil of choice and fill the pan about a 1cm high.
8) Grab a white tortilla and spread almost a spoonful of your smashed potatoes to one half of the tortilla.
9) Carefully place the tortilla with the potatoes facing up, in first. Once in, grab a pair of silicone tipped tongs to fold the tortilla in half like a quesadilla. (Depending on the size of your pan, you can fit 2 at a time if you’re using a medium size pan of 10″ diameter or 3-4 if you’re using a larger pan.)
Do you have any tips or tricks on making it or why people may like this recipe, or any memories from it?
