Equipment
- Skillet
- food processor
- Large plate
Ingredients
For the Crispitos
- 1½ lb. ground beef
- 16 flour tortillas
- 3 tbsp cumin
- 4 tbsp paprika
- 1½ tsp chili powder
- 3 cups vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
For the topping
- 1½ cup shredded cheese
- 4 tbsp sour cream
- 4 tbsp salsa
- 2 sliced avocados
Instructions
- Grind and season the beef. For the best flavor, ground the beef together with the seasoning in the food processor. Try reaching a thin consistency, but don’t leave it there for too long or it might turn into liquid. Pro tip: marinate your beef before cooking it, as it will allow the meat to effectively soak up the flavor of the seasoning. However, be careful to not leaving it open in the fridge; instead, use a zip-lock bag to safely store your beef while it marinates.
- Cook the ground beef. Heat 1 ½ tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil starts to sizzle, add the beef mix with the seasoning to the skillet. Stir continuously so the meat doesn’t stick to the skillet or get burned. Once all the beef is cooked, take it off the stove and let it cool.
- Preheat the oil at a medium low temperature and fill the Crispitos with the meat. Roll the Crispitos in an oblong shape, fold the sides, and set them aside. They should be rolled pretty tightly, so shape the meat in the right form before you fold them.
- Fry the Crispitos. Slowly cook the Crispitos in the hot oil until golden brown and crispy. No need to cook the rolls for too long since both the meat and the tortillas are already cooked. Place the freshly cooked Crispitos on a plate with a paper towel to soak up the remaining oil.
- Prepare the topping for your Crispitos. Mix the shredded cheese, salsa, sour cream, and sliced avocados and serve with the Crispitos. You just got a novel, unorthodox way to consume these tasty rolls. Feel free to adjust the seasoning or spice things up with some onions or jalapenos and enjoy this professional restaurant’s chef dish!
