GORDITAS
Serves 4

1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon chile powder

2 cups masa harina
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup water
2 pieces bacon, fried and crumbled
2 tablespoons Longhorn cheese

Shredded lettuce
Sliced or diced tomatoes
Shredded cheese

Fry beef and onion together. Season with salt, pepper, garlic salt
and chile powder. While meat is cooking, mix with hands all
ingredients for shells.  Pinch off small portion of dough and roll
into 2-inch ball. With quick patting motion, flatten out to 1/2
inch thickness and about 3 inches in diameter. Fry in hot grease
until golden brown, turning once. Drain. Make a slit through the
middle; open slightly like a taco shell and stuff with meat mixture,
lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. Serve with favorite chile or taco
sauce.
