2014-07-11 02:42:40
Serves 4
Ingredients
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 12 (41/2-inch) soft white corn tortillas (see note)
- 6 ounces andouille sausage, finely diced
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Redfish Ceviche, recipe follows
- Avocado Relish, recipe follows
- Garnish: diced roasted red pepper
Instructions
- In a Dutch oven or heavy pot, pour oil to a depth of 2 inches, and heat to 350º over medium-high heat.
- Place one tortilla in oil, and use a metal spatula to completely submerge. As tortilla starts to float, use spatula to press down in the center of the tortilla. The sides will fold upward. Use metal tongs to keep sides vertical. Fry until golden brown, 45 to 60 seconds. Remove from oil, and place inverted on paper towels to drain. Repeat process with remaining tortillas.
- In a medium sauteé pan, cook andouille over medium heat until crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to paper towels to drain.
- Fill each taco shell with Redfish Ceviche, andouille and Avocado Relish. Serve on a dollop of sour cream, and garnish with red pepper, if desired.
Notes
- If you cannot find 41/2-inch corn tortillas, cut larger ones with a 4 1/2-inch-round pastry cutter. Tortilla scraps can be fried for a snack.
