Ingredients
8 Servings
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- 10 grams baking powder
- 500 milliliters oil for frying
- 5 grams salt
- 30 milliliters vegetable oil
- 180 milliliters warm water
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 2
Gradually add the warm water and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Step 3
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Step 5
On a floured surface, roll each ball into a thin circle, about 6 inches in diameter.
Step 6
Heat the oil for frying in a deep skillet or pot to 190°C (375°F).
Step 7
Carefully place one dough circle into the hot oil. It should puff up almost immediately.
Step 8
Fry for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
Step 9
Repeat with the remaining dough circles.

Fill the puffy taco shells with your favorite taco fillings and serve immediately.
