Tacos Dorados For Dummies

Gatín is a brilliant cook and Tacos Dorados is one of his best dishes. Good things are there to share. That's why I share his family recipe and the how-to-do with you. I said, good things are to share. Therefor, this recipe serves 10. It's mandatory to invite some friends, when making Tacos Dorados.

You'll need...
  • 1 kg potatoes
  • ½ kg tomatoes
  • 2 small onions
  • clarified butter/ghee
  • loads of oil (sunflower or peanut)
  • 1½ kg tortillas
...for the tacos and...
  • ½ onion
  • 7 tomatillos verdes
  • 3 chiles serrano
  • 1 Mexican beer
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • salt & pepper
  • 150 g crème fraîche
  • 100 g grounded parmesan
...for the topping.

The Tacos

Boil, peal, and chop the potatoes. Chop the tomatoes and the onions.



Fry the tomatoes and the onions in the hot ghee. Add the potatoes and mash everything.



Heat the tortillas in a pan until they are soft. Put some of the potato-tomato filling on top and roll the tortilla.



Fry the tortillas in a pan with loads of really hot oil.



The Topping

We start with the Salsa Borracha (drunken sauce). Chop the onion and garlic. Simmer the tomatillos and the chiles. Blend the onion, tomatillos, chiles, garlic and beer. Season with pepper and salt.

Arrange some tacos on the plate. Top them with crème fraîche, parmesan and some Salsa Borracha. Serve and enjoy.
