Who doesn't love a good ol' Taco John's Taco Grande or Taco Bell Double Decker? Probably because of my love of refried beans, all other tacos are well....just a taco. I try not to buy any pre-made spice mixes including taco seasoning, so I have always made my own. I believe this is a Taco Bell knock off recipe that I printed off almost 20 years ago. I like to triple or quadruple this recipe so that I have it on hand for next time that taco hankering sets in.
1 T. flour 1 T. cornstarch 1 T. dried minced onion 1 t. garlic salt 1 t. ground cumin 1 t. paprika 1 t. chili powder 1/2 t. onion salt 1/4 t. cayenne pepper 1/4 t. white sugar 1 lb. ground pork hard taco shells small soft taco shells (fajita sized) refried beans, warmed cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, shredded tomatoes, chopped black olives sour cream salsa Mix all spice ingredients together in a small bowl, set aside. Brown ground pork in saute pan until no longer pink. Drain off fat. Add seasoning mix and 3/4 c. water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium low. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Spread refried beans on soft taco, place hard shell inside and fill with remaining ingredients. Fold soft taco around hard shell.
