Cracktos

Postby egghead » Sun Sep 13, 2009 2:55 pm

Was going to make some stuffed fritos for some football munchies today but forgot the fritos (aging is better than the alternative). So I used some crackers instead. Why cracktos? They are like mini tacos.

Good stuff - rather have them on a frito though.

If you tried to feed that to me...you just might have a permanent house guest at least as long as the beer held out.

Now thats interesting. If you had had fritos, would you have just mixed the meat in with some and cooked it?
I've never seen anything quite like either, (had you had fritos)...
Was that meat? Whatever it was, I'd eat it cause it looked Great!! My kinda snack.
I'm sooooo confused

:) :) :) Stuffed Fritos are much better than cracktos - nice little appetizer :) :) :)

South of the Border Stuffed Fritos
1 lb 93% lean ground beef
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 packet of taco seasoning
¼ cup of onions chopped fine
4-5 Tbs. of salsa or ¼ cup of taco sauce

Mix the above together
Stuff Frito scoops
Cook indirect at 350 until they reach an internal temp of 150
Squeeze some sour cream and guacamole on the Stuffed Fritos after they come off the Egg

Hints:
Fill a ziplock bag with the sour cream or guacamole and cut a small hole in the corner to use it as a squeeze bag.
Nest the Fritos between the wires on a cool grid and then put they whole grid on at once then take the grid off for unloading the Stuffed Fritos – just seems easier than putting them on/off over a hot grid one at a time. Watch out for crumb snatchers that may burn themselves trying to take one off the grid. 

Caution:
If they go much above 150 they will start to dry out

Option:
Cut up a couple jalapenos and mix in or top with jalapeno slices
I personally like them with just the sour cream – no guac.
