From the video more info section:

1 pound lean ground beef
1 cup onion, chopped
½ cup green pepper, chopped
10 oz. jar of taco sauce
1 tablespoon taco seasoning (If you cannot find the taco seasoning, just use 16 oz. of taco sauce, instead of 10 oz.)
½ tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon sugar
8 (small-size) flour tortillas
15 oz. can refried beans
8 taco shells
2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
1 cup chopped fresh tomato
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

In a deep skillet, cook 1 pound of ground beef, stirring constantly, until it is brown and crumbly. Skim off any excess fat. Add 1 cup chopped onion and ½ cup chopped green pepper, and continue to cook the beef and vegetables, until the vegetables are soft and clear. Add a 10 oz. jar of taco sauce, 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning, ½ tablespoon chili powder, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook for 10 minutes, until bubbly and flavors are blended. Remove from heat, and begin the assembly of your tacos. Fill each of the 8 taco shells with about 1/3 cup of the cooked beef mixture. Place these in a baking pan or glass dish that has sides, to keep them upright, and bake at 350-degrees for 10 minutes, or until crisp and beginning to brown. While the tacos are baking, heat a 15 oz. can of refried beans to steaming hot. When the tacos have finished baking, remove them from the oven, and prepare them for serving, one by one. For each taco, take a flour tortilla, spread one side of it with 2 tablespoons of hot refried beans. Immediately, tuck a fresh-baked taco on top of the flour taco, against the refried beans. Squeeze together to mold the soft taco (with its refried beans) on the outside of the crisp taco (with its beef mixture). Place each finished taco on a serving tray. Serve individually with toppings of shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, and chopped tomatoes, to taste. Add some sour cream and jalapeno slices on the side, if desired.

I've always made my own, could never find any in the supermarket, it's easy to make...


250ml passata (tomato sauce)
80ml water
1/4 tsp chilli powder
1½ tsp cumin
1½ tsp dried minced onion
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Place all the ingredients in a saucepan and stir well bringing to a simmer. Cook for about 20 minutes then allow to cool.

Chili con carne, for starters.


How about a recipe for some proper Mexican tacos, then? We don't exactly have a glut of Mexican eateries in my area.

That's cool, I think most people realize this as the addition of Tex before the Mex might indicate.

I used to make some fantastic chicken enchiladas; my Mexican mate told me they were the best he'd ever eaten. Sadly, but understandably, in this country the ancho and pasilla chilis I used to use are hard to come by, not to mention proper corn tortillas. I've yet to resort to Old El Paso, but I wouldn't begrudge anyone else for wanting to have a go.

I've never eaten tacos, shall I explain why?

Because I figure that eating chili in a 'giant crisp' would make shards of said crisp fly about all over the place.

Am I wrong?!

However, placing crisp inside a soft tortilla with refried beans looks like it might prevent that from happening, I might just have to give it a go sometime!

This kind of taco is what they call the "double decker" at Taco Bell. It works really well because when the taco shell breaks, it is held together nicely by the soft tortilla.

Real Mexican food is actually quite bland, so you are right in saying that it is nothing like Tex-Mex.

Also, the "Tex-Mex" you get in the UK is nothing like the real Tex-Mex. I have not found a good Tex-mex restaurant here yet and I have been here for 12 years. The search continues...

I am from Texas and it is very hard to find the right ingredients here to make real Tex-mex. I make my own corn tortillas. It's very easy to do, but takes a little time. The Old El Paso corn tortillas are not even close to the real thing.

I also make my own refried beans. Those beans from a can are nasty.

Strangely enough, Jack in the Box makes the best fast food tacos... and at 2 for a dollar, you can't beat the price either.

Put meat on tortilla (not a taco shell). Fold tortilla in half. Fry taco in lard. Pry open taco and add your uncooked ingredients (salsa, lettuce, cheese).

Yes. Real mexican tacos are fried in a frying pan... the meat is cooked inside the tortilla.

edit: you don't actually have to fry it.. that's just very common, you could grill your taco instead.. the point is, that you cook the meat inside the tortilla.. and that stiffens up the tortilla.

Thanks for that. In actuality, I'm well versed in tacos-- flautas are my favorite, or maybe a fish taco with napalitos. Growing up, we were never without tortillas in the house and we ate some sort of Mexican dish every week without fail. I really miss chili rellenos.

I miss chilli rellenos too. I've tried many times to recreate it; but I have always come short.

For some reason, I am craving gorditas. I'm going to have to make some this weekend. Now that, I can make!
