Tacos Ticos

Tacos Ticos are a popular street food in Costa Rica. They are made with corn tortillas, filled with meat, and then deep-fried until crispy.

Ingredients - Serves 4

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until the beef is no longer pink.
Stir in the tomato sauce, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for a few more minutes until the flavors are well combined.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F.
Place a spoonful of the beef mixture onto each tortilla, fold in half, and secure with a toothpick.
Fry the tacos in the hot oil until crispy and golden, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Drain on paper towels and remove the toothpicks.
Top with lettuce, tomato, and cheese before serving.
