Mexi-Oagies


Deconstructed and reconstructed Tacos, YUM


Corn Rolls

I developed these rolls cause I wanted a Hoagie Roll that tasted like a hard corn tortilla shell and not cornbread...



First make the Frito Water

2 big handfuls Fritos
4 cups boiling water

 In a plastic bowl mix the Fritos and water together and let it sit for 20-30 minutes, strain the water into a bowl, measure out 1 full cup

1 box Fleischmanns Country White Bread Mix
1/2 cup Pulverized Fritos

Remove 1/4 cup of the white bread mix and then stir in the pulverized Fritos and yeast.
 Test the temp of the Frito water and warm it in the microwave a few seconds at a time until its 120-130 F.
Then stir the Frito water into the flour mixture, until totally combined and it forms a ball.
Cover the bowl with a towel and let it rise for 45 minutes in a warm (not hot) place.

After 45 minutes, preheat the oven to 450F, place a baking sheet into the oven to heat it up, on the lower rack place a baking dish with hot water... put on rubber gloves (the dough will be sticky) and divide the dough into 4 even pieces. shape into long rolls and place them onto a piece of parchment paper and with a razor blade, slash the rolls lengthwise.
When the oven is preheated, place the parchment paper with the rolls onto the preheated sheet and immediately spritz with a spray bottle of water.
Bake for 13 minutes, turn the parchment. Spritz again. Bake 13 minutes more.

Remove and let cool.

Mix all together with your hands till gooey, place in a loaf pan and bake at 350F for 45 mins to 1 hour. let cool and slice thin.

Serve in the rolls with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, shredded cheese, sour cream, pickled sweet jalapenoes, and taco sauce.
