HARD SHELL GROUND BEEF TACOS | Gringo Tacos with Crispy Fried Shells

Hard shell ground beef tacos, or gringo tacos as I call them, were one of the classics on my family’s dinner table. But I’m leveling up your parents recipe. For these supreme tacos I fry the corn tortillas into an explosively crispy crunchy shell for well-seasoned ground beef (no packets) fresh toppings, and Ortega taco sauce (because nothing I could make speaks to my child brain the way Ortega does. It.Is. Good.
