Directions:
1. 1. Peel, cut potatoes and boil. Once cooked, chop into small pieces about 3/8 inch. Set aside.
2. 2. Cut head lettuce in half. Using sharp knife shave lettuce as thin as possible. Once cut into strips, cut into 1 inch long pieces. Set aside.
3. 3. In a deep pot add 1 cup water then add hamburger breaking it up as added. As hamburger cooks use a wisk to stir breaking up hamburger into BB size pieces. Let hamburger cook. Once cooked, drain.
4. 4. Once drained place in a large fry pan. Add 1 1/2 cups water. Add salt, pepper, granulated garlic and mix well. Add chopped onions, chilies, green pepper, stir and mix well. Allow to cook 10 minutes on medium high.
5. 5. Add potato, stirring and mixing well.
6. 6. Add lettuce, stirring and mixing well. Add another cup of water, mixing well and allow to cook 10 minutes. .
7. 7. To cook tortillas barely rinse one side under water. Place on a Styrofoam plate and microwave 12 seconds (1300 watts).
8. 8. Add meat and sauce and roll up. You have to hold one end pinched closed so it doesn’t fall out.
9. 9. For a variation add shaved lettuce on meat and sauce.
10. 10. The taco best suits thin sauce. I pour out half of the sauce and then add water and shake.
