Comment préparer Sherri's Favorite Puffy Tacos
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups warm water (105-115°F), 2 teaspoons sugar, and 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add 4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup vegetable shortening. Mix with a wooden spoon or stand mixer until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 6-inch circle.
- Heat a large cast iron skillet or griddle over medium heat. Carefully place 3-4 tortillas on the hot surface and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until lightly golden brown and puffed.
- Fill the puffy tacos with your favorite fillings (shredded beef, chicken, or picadillo are traditional).
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
