Taco Bell Chalupa Supreme

1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup flour
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon dried minced onion
1/2 cup water
Flat bread (pita will work)
Oil for deep-frying
Sour Cream
Shredded lettuce
Shredded Cheddar/Jack cheese
Diced Tomatoes
Mix dried onion with water in a small bowl and let stand for
five minutes. Combine ground beef, flour, chili powder,
paprika, and salt. Mix well. Add onions and water. Mix again.
In a skillet, cook beef mixture until browned. Stir often
while cooking so no large chunks form; it should be more like
a paste. Remove from heat and keep warm.
In a deep-fryer (or you can use a skillet) deep fry the
bread for 30 seconds. Let drain on absorbent towels.
Build Chalupas starting with meat, then sour cream, lettuce
cheese, and tomatoes in that order. Top with hot sauce or
salsa if desired.

Taco Bell Crispitos

1/8 Cup Cinnamon
1/2 Cup Sugar
10 Flour Tortillas
Oil to fry with
Mix together cinnamon and sugar very well. In a dutch oven, or
large skillet heat the oil to 350 degrees. If you do not have a
thermometer, you can set it on medium high, but be carefull to watch
that it doesn't get too hot and begin to smoke. Quarter the tortillas
and deep fry 2-4 at a time. Allow them to cook on one side for about
30 seconds or unitl golden brown, turn over, and repeat. When
both sides are brown take out, and place on paper towels to drain.
While the tortillas are draining liberally sprinkle with cinnamon
and sugar mixture. These are really great with honey.
