Beef Pickle Tacos

I have been making these puppies ever since Malo opened and I stole their idea.  Below is the strict Malo recipe, but cut whatever corners you want because beef + tortillas + pickles + cheese cannot go wrong.  Ever.  I tend to use very little oil, the leanest beef, sometimes flour tortillas, and sometimes skip the cooling / tortilla frying if I am hungry and want food in my face immediately.

Actual Original Malo Taco

leanest ground beef (1 lb)
olive oil as little or much as you want
russet potatoes (2) boiled & diced
garlic powder (1 teaspoon)
cumin (1 teaspoon)
oregano (1 teaspoon)
paprika (2 tablespoons)
salt & pepper to taste
corn tortillas
veggie oil as little or much as you want
pickle slices
cheddar cheese (8 oz) grated


Saute ground beef in oil.
Add all spices and cook for 5 minutes. 
Add potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes.
Remove from heat and let cool for 30 minutes.
Heat corn tortillas in pan and then stuff them with filling.
Close both ends with toothpick.
Fry them in veggie oil about 2 minutes on each side.
Place on paper towels, remove toothpick.
