4 1/2 c. lukewarm water
6 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. salt
1 c. melted shortening
4 1/2 c. flour
2 pkgs. yeast

Mix together in a large bowl the water, sugar, salt and yeast. Knead together well. Stir in the flour using only 2 cups at a time. Then gradually mix in the melted shortening. After dough is complete, tear off pieces the size of a baseball (or desired size) and flatten like a pancake.

In a deep fryer or deep frying pan, fry the pieces of dough in about 2-3 cups of foil.

For added touches: top shells with hamburger, cheese, taco sauce, tomatoes, lettuce and other desired Mexican favorites.
