Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon table salt
- 1 cup whole milk, warmed
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- Canola oil for frying
- The best taco meat
- Shredded cheese
- Chopped lettuce

Instructions
- Heat about 2 inches of canola oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in warmed milk and melted butter until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about one minute until mostly smooth; it should be tacky but not sticky.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each into a ball; flatten each ball into a circle about 6 inches wide.
- Fry each shell in hot oil for about 5 seconds per side before folding gently with tongs; cook until golden brown (1-2 minutes per side).
- Remove from oil and let excess drain; hang over a wooden spoon to maintain shape.
- Fill shells with your choice of taco meat, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, and taco sauce.
