    Did these in my George Forman grill instead of frying in oil and they still turned out crispy and delicious. used leftover shredded beef instead of HB. This was a great idea for a change from the ususal mexican dishes I've made.

    Easy Crispy Taco Turnovers, These are pretty easy, tasty and are a great appetizer or snack before the football games start, or you could even add beans/rice and Margaritas for a meal! For a more South-of-the-Border taste, add some diced Jalapeno peppers or green chilies before frying these ;), Did these in my George Forman grill instead of frying in oil and they still turned out crispy and delicious used leftover shredded beef instead of HB This was a great idea for a change from the ususal mexican dishes I’ve made , Okay, but lacked flavor My suggestions: – add spices after draining meat – roast jalapenos under the broiler – use more spices or a taco season packet – use a more authentic Mexican cheese This made 6 for us
