3. Heat enough oil in a pan to submerge the tortillas. You can use a scrap of tortilla to test the oil if it is ready.
4. Using some tongs, place a circle in the oil for about 5 seconds. Turn it over and fold in half holding it in the taco shape for another 5 seconds or until it's browned. Flip over once more and cook until it's crispy.
