Ingredients

• 8 , 5-inch
• 1 pound ground sirloin
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 0.75 teaspoons kosher salt , divided
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil , or as needed for frying
• 0.5 cups white onion
• 0.25 cups fresh cilantro
• lime wedges , for serving

Instructions

1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
2. 2 Lay 8 tortillas flat on a surface.
3. 3 Combine beef, taco seasoning, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
4. 4 Press 1/4 cup of beef mixture onto half of each tortilla.
5. 5 Heat 1/4-inch of oil in a high-sided skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Working in batches, carefully add one taco at a time, flat, to the hot oil.
6. 6 Hold empty side of the tortilla with a pair of tongs, and fold over beef filling once the shell is softened, about 5 seconds.
7. 7 Cook, turning once, until shell is golden brown and beef is no longer pink in the center, 30 seconds to 1 minute per side.. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
8. 8 Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
9. 9 Serve immediately topped with onion and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges, salsa, and hot sauce.
