Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F and set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet.
- Slice a chicken breast horizontally three-quarters of the way through, then open it up like a book. Cover with plastic wrap and pound the chicken breast with a mallet or rolling pin until 1/2 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
- Heat about 4 inches oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it reaches 360 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, whisk the cornstarch, seafood seasoning and 2 teaspoons kosher salt together in a shallow bowl. Whisk the eggs in another shallow bowl.
- Dip a piece of chicken in the cornstarch, then eggs, then cornstarch, then eggs and finally in the cornstarch again.
- Wrap the chicken around a hard taco shell (to resemble a taco) and hold in place gently with a pair of tongs. Lower the chicken into the hot oil, submerging it fully, and hold for about 45 seconds before releasing on its side. Cook for 3 minutes, then flip to the other side and cook until the crust is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through, about 3 minutes more. Place on the prepared wire rack to drain and cool. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts and taco shells. Transfer the chicken taco shells to the oven to keep warm.
- Combine the cabbage, carrots, mayonnaise and hot sauce in a large bowl. Place a heaping tablespoon of slaw in the base of each chicken taco shell, then top with cherry tomatoes and avocado. Enjoy.
DOUBLE TACOS
Crunchy and soft tacos make a great couple. The soft taco, layered with a mixture of refried beans and cheese, act as a cushion to keep the crunchy taco shell, filled with taco meat and toppings, from breaking. It's fun for kids and adults, too! This recipe is versatile and toppings are a matter of preference. We prefer shredded cheese, sour cream, lettuce, hot sauce, and sometimes guacamole. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Cook ground beef and onion in a skillet over medium heat until beef is completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain excess grease from the skillet.

- Stir taco seasoning mixture into ground beef and onion mixture; simmer on medium-low heat while preparing the remaining ingredients.
- Stir refried beans and cubed process cheese food together in a separate small saucepan over medium-low heat; cook and stir until cheese food has melted completely into the beans, about 10 minutes.
- Divide refried bean mixture between flour tortillas; spread into an even layer to cover one side completely.
- Wrap tortillas around the crisp taco shells, using bean mixture to stick the tortillas to the shells.
- Spoon seasoned ground beef into the taco shells.

Steps:
- Fit a sheet pan with a wire rack.
- Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a large braiser or cast-iron skillet.
- Using tongs, slip half of a tortilla in the hot oil to form a taco shell shape. Using a metal spatula with the other hand, keep half the tortilla submerged until golden. Turn the tortilla so that the fried part now sticks out of the oil, letting the bottom fry, while making sure to keep the tortilla open about 2 inches wide. (This creates the necessary space to stuff it!) Then gently turn the tortilla and repeat the process so that the remaining side fries to a golden brown while the rest stays out of the oil. Let the taco shell drain on the lined sheet pan. Fry another tortilla in this manner; reserve the other two tortillas.
- Preheat the broiler.
- Place one unfried tortilla in a pan and top it edge to edge with cheese. Lightly broil until the cheese is just melted, but the tortilla isn't toasted. While still hot, "stick" the cheesy, non-crispy tortilla to the outside of a fried tortilla shell. Repeat with the remaining tortilla, cheese and fried shell.
- Now build! Fill the cavity of the taco with some warm Taco Meat, followed by some lettuce, a drizzle of sour cream, tomatoes, jalapeños and cilantro.
- Serve with your favorite taco bib.
- Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the beef and chorizo and brown, breaking the meat up constantly into smaller little bits, until no longer pink, 6 to 8 minutes. (If there is a lot of rendered fat, remove all but 1 tablespoon of the fat.)
- Add the onions, chipotle powder and cumin. Cook until the onions are soft, another 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for just another 30 seconds. Add the tomato puree and simmer, stirring frequently, for another 10 minutes. You want this taco meat to be pretty "tight" and dehydrated, not soupy or loose! Season to taste with salt and pepper.
DOUBLE DECKER TACOS
The best tacos! A soft shell taco is layered with refried beans, then wrapped around a hard shell taco, which is filled with seasoned ground beef and topped with cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, sour cream and fresh guacamole. You can top it with whatever you like, but I recommend loading it up! Also, if you don't eat meat, put melted cheese on the soft shell, and the refried beans in the hard.

Steps:
- Place the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, and sprinkle about 3/4 of the packet of taco seasoning over the meat. Cook and stir the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks, until the beef is browned and crumbly, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the excess grease.
- Mash the refried beans with the water in a small saucepan, and sprinkle with the rest of the seasoning packet. Heat the refried beans over low heat until simmering.
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Place the crisp taco shells on a baking sheet, and warm them in the preheated oven for 3 to 5 minutes.
- To make the guacamole, peel, seed, and mash the avocados in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of sour cream, the lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.
- To build the tacos, spread each flour tortilla with about 2 tablespoons of heated refried beans. Wrap the tortilla gently around a crisp tortilla shell. Spread about 2 tablespoons of ground beef along the bottom of the crisp shell, and sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded Cheddar cheese on top of the meat. Top the cheese with shredded lettuce, a sprinkle of chopped tomato and onion, and a dollop of sour cream and guacamole.
