Taco (corn shells)

Tacos

Its the same as nachos. Just the shape differs. These are shaped in such a way that, you stuff in vegetable/ sauces in it.

Ingredients -
Makki ka aata - 1 cup
Maida/wheat flour - 1/2 cup
Salt to taste
1 tsp oil
Warm water to make dough
Oil for deep frying

Method
Mix all the above dry items and oil, use warm water and make a semi soft dough. Keep it covered for 10 mins.
Now divide into 5 equal portions. Using a rolling pin role each 1 into a chapati. Should not be too thin. Now cut the round into small rounds using a small lid. Deep fry the pieces till crisp.  As soon as u take out bend then to C shape. Once its cold it wont be able to bend. It will break instead.

Variation -
While making the dough, you can add basil-oregano-pepper-ajwain-chi oli flakes. (what ever flavour you want the taco to be.)

Note - I use wheat maida instead of the market one. This gives my taco a little orangish brown colour but tastes the same and wheat flour is healthy too. Make little at a time such that they stay crisp and fresh. This quantity makes almost 20 tacos
