TACO PUFFS
I got this recipe from a friend years ago and still make these cheesy sandwiches regularly. I serve them for dinner along with a steaming bowl of soup or fresh green salad. Any leftovers taste even better the next day for lunch. A helpful hint: Plain refrigerated biscuits seal together better than buttermilk types. -Jan Schmid Hibbing Minnesota

PUFFY TACOS
Steps:
- For the taco shells: In a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat, heat 3 inches oil to 375 degrees F or preheat your fryer to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a wire rack.
- Mix the masa harina and 1 teaspoon salt together in medium bowl. Add the warm water and combine until it comes together, about 30 seconds. Cover the dough and let rest for 8 to 10 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a smooth ball. Keep covered and work quickly.
- Cut two 8-inch squares of parchment and line a tortilla press. Add a dough ball, then top with the other piece of parchment and press into disc, 5- to 6-inches in diameter.
- Carefully remove the tortilla and place in the hot oil. Fry the tortilla until it begins to puff, 25 to 30 seconds, then flip the tortilla, cooking another 25 to 30 seconds. Press down in the center of the tortilla with a metal spatula to form a taco shell, submerging the tortilla completely. Fry until golden brown and the taco shell holds its shape, another 30 to 45 seconds.
- Let drain on a wire rack lined baking sheet, then season with salt and reserve. Repeat with the remaining dough.
- For the filling: Heat a 12-inch cast-iron pan over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring to break up; sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook the ground beef fully, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and onion, stirring to prevent burning. Meanwhile, combine the cumin, chili powder, Mexican oregano and cayenne in a bowl, stirring to combine. Once the garlic and onion begin to turn translucent, about 1 minute, add the seasoning mixture and stir to combine. Add the crushed tomatoes to the same bowl and stir to combine, collecting any remaining spices, then add to the pan. Stir together until the beef is coated and allow to simmer until thickened, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Equally divide the taco meat into the puffy taco shells. Add equal amounts lettuce, sour cream and pico de gallo to each taco. Grate Cheddar over each taco with a rasp grater. Serve with lime wedges.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Use a 3-inch round cookie cutter to cut 34 rounds from the tortillas.
- Microwave the butter, sugar and cinnamon in a medium microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until the butter is melted. Brush both sides of the tortilla rounds with the butter mixture.
- Flip two 12-cup muffin tins upside down. Place the tortilla rounds in between the muffin cups in both directions, folding them to create mini taco shells (you should get 17 per muffin tin). Bake until the shells are crisp and just beginning to turn light golden brown, 11 to 13 minutes.
- Carefully overstuff each shell with mini marshmallows while they are still warm and in the muffin tins. Using a kitchen blowtorch, toast the marshmallows until golden brown all over. Stuff 1 milk chocolate rectangle on top of the marshmallows on each taco, pushing it down so the warm marshmallows melt the chocolate. Let sit until partially melted, about 5 minutes, then use the kitchen blowtorch to melt the chocolate completely.
- Put the remaining chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until melted, about 1 minute.
- Transfer the tacos to a serving platter, sprinkle with the graham cracker crumbs and serve warm alongside the melted chocolate for dipping.

Steps:
- Unroll the pastry on a lightly floured surface, and cut in half lengthways. Cut each half into six, so you have 12 squares. Working with one square at a time, fold in half diagonally to create a triangle. Lay the triangle out with the folded edge facing you. Cut a ½cm border along the other two edges, stopping just before the two cuts intersect. Carefully unfold the pastry, then brush the borders with a little beaten egg. Lift the far left corner of the pastry and fold it over to the right, pressing it down gently against the inner right corner to seal. Repeat from the far right corner of the pastry to the inner left corner. Arrange the pastries over two baking trays lined with baking parchment, and spoon 1 tsp mincemeat into the middle of each. Top each with a few flaked almonds. Will keep chilled for up to 24 hrs.
- Heat the oven to 210C/190C fan/gas 6½. Brush the pastry with more egg and bake for 15-20 mins until puffed up and golden. Dust with icing sugar and enjoy warm, or leave to cool completely. Once cooled, will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for two days.

PUFFY TACO SHELLS
I just don't get to San Antonio, home of the puffy taco, as much as I'd like to. So I tried to recreate it at home and it worked out great! Be sure you have the meat and fixings ready ahead of time so all you have to do is fry and fill! These work best when served as warm as possible.

Steps:
- Mix masa harina, salt, and 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons water together in a bowl using your fingertips until dough forms and pulls away from the sides, 2 or 3 minutes. Form into a firm, flattened ball and divide into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball. Keep dough balls covered with a damp paper towel as you fry them, one at a time.
- Place dough ball between 2 sheets of plastic or a split open zip top bag. Flatten to form a small circle about 1/8 to 3/16 inch thick.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, slide in the first circle. Very carefully baste hot oil over the top of the shell with a spoon to keep oil circulating over the top surface. When shell has puffed (after about 15 seconds), cook another few seconds and flip it over and cook another 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat for each shell.
- When shells are still warm and pliable, gently push down puffed tops to create room for the fillings and slightly crease the shells for folding.
- Fill with your favorite taco fixings and serve while shells are still warm.

- Place the ground beef in a skillet and bring over medium heat. Cook, breaking up with a spoon until cooked through and broken into small pieces. Add the tablespoon of water, the taco seasoning and the red pepper flakes and stir together until well combined. Remove from heat and transfer to a mixing bowl. Add the chopped tomatoes and shredded cheddar and stir until combined.
- On a clean, dry surface sprinkle a small amount of flour to prevent sticking and lay down your sheet of defrosted puff pastry. Using a rolling pin, roll the pastry into a 13”x13” square of even thickness. Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the pastry into 9 even squares (3 rows of 3).
- Spoon the ground beef filling evenly into the center of each pastry square and spread it a bit diagonally toward two opposite corners. Get a small dish of water and lightly spread a bit of water around the edges of a square. Fold one corner over diagonally to meet its opposite corner and form a triangle. Press the edges of the pastry together to seal the filling inside. You can also press the sealed edges with a fork to form lines along the edge. Repeat with each pastry square. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and transfer the triangles to the sheet.
- Combine the egg and a tablespoon of water in a bowl and whisk together to combine. Use a pastry brush to brush the egg wash over top of each pastry triangle. Discard leftover egg wash. Sprinkle the ¼ teaspoon of oregano over the tops of the triangles.
