Dees Chocolate Taco Recipes

CHOCOLATE TACOS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the egg whites and sugar and beat with a whisk until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the flour, salt, melted butter, cream and vanilla until combined.
• Preheat a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the batter into the pan and, with a small offset spatula, spread the batter into an even 4- to 5-inch pancake. Cook on the first side until golden brown at the edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the reverse side, about 1 minute more. Remove from the pan and immediately hang the pancake over the handle of a wooden spoon to form the taco. Set aside to set, about 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Dip the tacos in the melted chocolate and return to the wooden spoon. If making ahead of time, refrigerate until needed.
• Fill the tacos with the softened ice cream and garnish with the chopped pecans.

CHOCOLATE TACOS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the egg whites and sugar and beat with a whisk until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the flour, salt, melted butter, heavy cream and vanilla with a rubber spatula until combined.
• Prop up each end of a long wooden spoon on a can or bowl (you'll use this to shape the taco shells). Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat; coat with cooking spray. Spoon 2 tablespoons of batter into the pan; use a small offset spatula to spread the batter into an even 4- to 5-inch pancake. Cook on the first side until golden brown at the edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the reverse side, about 1 more minute. Remove from the pan and immediately drape the pancake over the wooden spoon. Set aside to set, about 5 minutes. Repeat to make 8 to 10 tacos, wiping out the skillet and adding more cooking spray as needed.
• Put the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water; stir until melted. Dip the edges of the taco shells in the melted chocolate and return to the wooden spoon; let set, about 5 minutes. (If making in advance, refrigerate until ready to serve.) Fill the taco shells with ice cream and garnish with some chopped pecans.

DEE'S ROAST PORK FOR TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Place the roast on top of a large piece of aluminum foil. In a small bowl, stir together the green chiles, chili powder, oregano, taco seasoning and garlic. Rub onto the roast. Wrap foil around the roast so that it is completely covered, using additional aluminum foil if necessary. Place on top of a roasting rack in a baking dish, or place a cookie sheet on an oven rack below to catch any leaks.
• Roast the meat for 3 1/2 to 4 hours in the preheated oven, until falling apart. Cook to at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove from the oven, and shred into small pieces using two forks. Season with salt to taste.
