Puako Tacos

* 1 package of McCormicks Taco Seasoning 
* 1 1/2 lb of ground chuck
* 2TB water 
* 1 package (24) white corn tortillas
* 2/3 cup corn oil

"Fixings"

* 1/2 bunch minced green onion 
* 1 avocado sliced
* 2 tomatoes diced
* 8 leaves of lettuce finely shredded 
* 1 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese

Fry the ground beef and when done spoon the drippings out of the bottom
of the pan and discard. Add the taco seasoning and the water. Stir into
the cooked meat until well distributed and absorbed.

Have all the "fixings" prepared and placed in separate bowls.

Pour the oil in a saute pan and heat until hot, not burning. Add the
corn tortillas one at a time. Using a pair of metal tongs fry on one
side for approximately one minute and then turn over and fry a half
minute on the other side. At this point fold the tortilla in half to
form a half-moon. Fry until tanned. Take out of the pan and set open
side down on a paper towel lined tray. The shells should be stiff and
stay standing up. They will harden more as they cool, this is good.

When you have finished frying all the shells, pick one up at a time and
fill with meat, then the desired "fixings". Place on a plate and serve.
A good serving is three to four per person. One warning is to not over
fill with meat. They are not to be hearty. The meat and the "fixings"
are delicate and not too much of one or the other.
