Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until meat is crumbly and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain excess grease; stir in water and taco seasoning mix. Reduce heat to low and simmer the meat mixture until thickened, 4 to 6 minutes.
- Bake taco shells on a baking sheet in the preheated oven until crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Let cool for about 5 minutes and break apart into bite-size pieces.
- Transfer seasoned ground beef to a large serving bowl and mix in the nacho cheese corn chips, taco shell pieces, Mexican cheese blend, and hot pepper sauce.

Steps:
- Heat about 1 inch of oil in a heavy skillet over medium to medium-high heat to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C).
- Use tongs to place one tortilla at a time into the oil. It should start to sizzle right away. Cook for about 15 seconds, then flip over and fold the shell in half, holding in place with the tongs until crispy, about 15 seconds. You may need a little practice at first. Drain on paper towels, and sprinkle with salt while still hot. Use for tacos right away, or they may become chewy. Leftovers may be heated in the oven for crisping.

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.
