California State Fair Tacos

                                        Yield: 6 Servings

           1 Potato (About 4 Inches Long)
           1 Cup Water
           1/4 Head Lettuce
           1/2 Small Can Green Chilies
           3 Cloves Garlic
           To Taste Salt & Pepper
           6 Green Onions
           12 White Corn Tortillas
           1 Lb Lean Ground Beef
           Vegetable Oil

 Boil or microwave the potato until its soft. Cool, remove the skin, mash so pieces are no bigger than 1/8 inch each. Set aside. Very thinly slice, as thinly as possible, the lettuce.
 Cut these thin strips into pieces about one inch long. Set aside. Crush the garlic, set  aside. Slice green onions very thin. Use all of the white part and about 3/4 inch of the  green part. Break the rings apart, place in a bowl. Brown the ground beef in a skillet. Break  up the beef so it cooks into teeny tiny pieces. When completely cooked, drain any fat.
 Return to pan. Add the water, onion, chilies, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir completely to mix  and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the lettuce and cook for another 5 minutes.
 Add the potato, stir and cook until the lettuce is very soft - about another 15 minutes. Add  more water if necessary. The final consistency should be thick. Either steam the tortillas or  fry them lightly. To fry lightly, heat 1/4 inch of oil to medium hot. Once hot, place tortilla in il  for 2 seconds. Flip using tongs and cook 2 seconds on other side. Blot dry with paper towels and keep warm until you've done all of the tortillas. Put tortilla on a plate. Spoon
 meat mixture onto tortilla and roll up. If you want, add some taco sauce before rolling. Eat  and enjoy! Makes about 12 - 14 tortillas. The recipe said that the lettuce was the thing. I  noticed the lettuce and the potato. Instead of folding the taco, you're rolling it. It's a different  taco. It sure isn't Mexican but it's mighty tasty.

           Servings: 24 patties Pastry: Preheat the oven to 400 deg F. To make the dough: place the  flour and salt in a large bowl; mix well. Cut the shortening into small pieces about the size of walnuts. Add to the flour and, using your fingers, rub the flour and shortening together, making  a coarse, mealy dough. Add the ice water and gather the dough into a ball. The dough should
  be firm and not sticky. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water, but if the dough is too sticky, add just enough flour to make it form a ball. Divide the dough into 2 equal balls and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 2 days. To make the filling: in  a large skillet, cook the onion, garlic, and chilies in the oil over moderate heat for about 10  minutes, stirring from time to time. Add the beef, herbs, spices, bell pepper, and tomatoes,  and cook over high heat for 5 minutes, stirring constantly until the mixture is thick and saucy.
 Add the green onions and cook for 1 minute. Season with salt and peper and cool to room  temperature. To assemble the patties: on a lightly floured surface, divide each ball into 2 equal balls, so that you have 4 equal balls. Flatten into disc shapes, then divide each disc  into 6 equal pieces and roll each into a ball. Roll each ball into a 3 1/2 inch diameter circle.
 Brush the edges with beaten egg. Place about 1 tablespoon of filling on one side of each  circle, leaving a 1/4 inch border. Fold the dough over, making a half-moon shape. Seal the  edges with the tines of a fork, and brush with the remaining egg. Bake on a lightly greased  baking sheet for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the patties are golden brown. Remove from the  oven and serve immediately.
