taco puffs

 

my original plan was to make taco ring (my favourite meal from 

kelcie's mom) but i couldn't find ready-made croissant rolls at woolies 

so i opted for fillo pastries. but i realised after i opened them that maybe 

i should have used puff pastries. in any case, these are something easy 

& delicious to whip up.

- olive oil
- onions
- garlic
- coriander (or cilantro)
- mince
- taco seasoning
- fillo pastry (or preferably puff pastry)
- tomatoes
- lettuce
- cheese
- sour cream


- chop up some onions & garlic and toss em' in a pan of olive oil
  till their delicious aromas waft up your nose. throw in your coriander
  and mince. cook until your mince is brown.

- drain any fat, return it to the stove & add your taco seasoning
  and a little bit of water. stir until the water is evaporated & the
  mince is thoroughly seasoned.

- take your fillo pastries & put about four layers down, buttering
  every second one. dump a spoonful of taco mince into the middle
  & fold/twist your pastry up & set it aside. do this until you run out
  of mince or fillo or (hopefully) both OR if you use puff pastries, cut
  them into quarters, place your taco mince inside, brush water on the
  edges & pinch close.

- place on a pan & put in the oven...maybe at 180, i'll let you decide
  since most ovens are different. wait until they are golden brown or if
  the fillo/puff pastry package tells you differently.

- once golden brown, remove from the oven & enjoy looking at your
  beautiful taco pressies. once cool enough to eat, throw it into a bowl,
  top with cheese (i always do cheese first so it melts), lettuce, tomato,
  and a dollop of sour cream.

  and enjoy!!
