Ingredients

  • 1 loaf frozen white bread dough, thawed
  • TOPPING:
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound hot bulk pork sausage
  • 1 envelope taco seasoning
  • 1 can (15 ounces) pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Oil for deep-fat frying
  • Optional toppings: Chopped tomato, finely chopped onion, shredded lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese and taco sauce

Directions

  1. Allow dough to rise according to package directions. Meanwhile, for topping, cook beef and sausage in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink, breaking meat into crumbles; drain. Stir in taco seasoning, beans and water. Simmer 15-20 minutes or until the water is almost evaporated; set aside.
  2. After dough rises, punch down. Divide dough into 12 equal balls. Using a small amount of flour, roll each ball into a 6-in. circle (dough will be thin).
  3. In an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat 1 in. oil to 350°. Gently place 1 dough circle into oil. Fry until golden brown, 1-2 minutes, turning once. Drain tortillas on paper towels; keep warm. Serve with optional toppings of your choice.
