corn tortillas
cups vegetable oil
tablespoons butter
pound lean ground beef
teaspoon sea salt
garlic clove, peeled and minced
tablespoons tomato sauce
medium tomato, finely chopped
avocado, peeled and sliced
head iceberg lettuce, finely chopped
cup sour cream
cup shredded cheddar cheese
7 oz bottle Pico Pica Mexican hot sauce

Melt the butter in a medium skillet over low to medium heat. Add ground beef and cook for 5 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Add salt and garlic and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add tomato sauce and simmer until the meat is thoroughly cooked, about 10 minutes.

Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. When hot, place a tortilla in the skillet and cook for 1 minute. Using a fork, fold the tortilla in half so that it makes the shape of a taco. Turn it over, so the other side becomes crunchy. Remove from oil and drain on a plate layered with paper towel. Cook remaining tortillas in the same manner, adding oil as needed.

Place tomato, avocado, lettuce, sour cream and cheese in small bowls.

Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of beef mixture in each taco and put them on a serving plate.

Fill tacos as desired, sprinkle with Pico Pica and enjoy immediately!
