This recipe is not wholly indulgent, but I must confess that those tortillas are not homemade. Oddly enough, I have paired the store bought tortillas with some produce from our backyard, organic garden. The result is fantastic!
When I was in high school they served something vaguely similar to this and called it a burrito. I’m calling mine Fried Tacos.
I used:
- evil, store-bought tortillas
- cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 small, organic, sweet onion, diced
- 1 small, organic, roma tomato, diced
- 1 small, organic, bell pepper, diced
- fat, saved from some sausage we browned yesterday for the pizza
I sauted the onion and bell pepper in the pork fat. Once that was done I transfered the veggies to a small bowl and wiped the skillet out with a cloth. Added about 2 or 3 tablespoons more fat to the pan and set it over medium heat.
While that was getting hot I started rolling up the tacos by putting a couple of tablespoons of grated cheese in the middle of a tortilla and added a spoonful of diced tomato, and two spoonfuls of the bell pepper and onion combo. Rolled it carefully and laid it in the skillet, seam side down. Once it browned nicely I turned it over using the awkward “tongs in one hand, spatula in the other hand method.” I let the second side get browned to a yummy, crispiness and removed it to my plate.
I might like to dip these in sour cream and/or salsa, but here I sit, just eatin’ ‘em as is. YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

I hadn’t thought about it, Dave. We haven’t had it since we became Cowboys.
Hey they look good. We just had your pirate bread for dinner. Are you still calling it pirate bread since you are now ranch people? If you don’t have a moniker for it, let me suggest one. Bed Roll Bread. Bed Roll like the cowboys ride with to sleep on and when you roll up the old pirate bread it does have a kind of bed roll motif.

Ooooh – yeah – homemade tacos! I tried the recipe from NT with corn tortillas, but these look like you made them with flour. Probably would crisp up faster. “Evil store-bought tortillas…” LOL
And our three tomato plants just went into overdrive, so I hope to make some fresh salsa today!
Sounds delicious… Just wish my crowd would eat veggies. I love ‘em, but DH and Sons won’t touch them. I would especially like a fresh homegrown tomato about now!
Thanks for the recipe, looks yummy.
