Learn how to make Deep Fried Tacos (inspired by - but way better than - the tacos at Jack in the Box). This is a very specific type of taco -- a taco which is filled first and then fried, resulting in a perfectly crisp taco shell and a filling that is almost roasted around the edges. And they are so, so, SO good. Savory, delicate, and somehow ephemeral in that before you can blink, they will all be gone.
