 * How to make taco shells:

   for 10 seconds or until limp.   With tongs fold tortilla in half and
   continue frying, holding edges apart.  Cook 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 minutes 
   longer or until crisp,  turning once.  Drain on paper towels.


 Arrange taco shells on a baking sheet,  Warm oven to 325 F.   Cook ground
 beef until brown, drain off all fat.  Add garlic and chili powders,
 mixing well.   Stuff each taco shell with some of the meat, lettuce, onion,
 tomatoes, and cheese.  Heat in oven until cheese melts about ?-10 mins.
