Copycat Taco Bell Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Tacos Supreme - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Filling
2 1/2 cups Copycat Taco Bell Seasoned Beef for taco meat
1 (6 ounce) can cooking spray
1/4 cup buttermilk
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 (4 5/8 ounce) box taco shells
3 (1 ounce) envelopes ranch dressing mix, such as Hidden Valley
3/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon msg, purchased as Accent flavor enhancer
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups iceberg lettuce, shreded
2 cups tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup sour cream

Preparation

Make Copycat Taco Bell Seasoned Beef, reserve 2 1/2 cups, set aside.
Heat oven to 350°F Place two baking racks over rimmed baking sheets; spray generously with cooking spray. Using aluminum foil, roll 12 1/2- inch balls. In a small bowl, stir together buttermilk, honey, and sugar until well combined.
In a shallow rimmed dish, stir together ranch seasoning mix, salt, Accent, onion powder, and garlic powder.
On prepared baking sheets, arrange taco shells, (12) spacing out evenly. Working one at a time, holding the shell from the inside, brush both both sides with buttermilk mixture. Dip both sides of brushed shell into Cool Ranch powder mix, pressing gently to adhere. Spray both sides of shell with cooking spray and place back on baking rack. Repeat with remaining shells.
Fit prepared aluminum foil balls into the \"mouths\" of the taco shells; this will help keep the shells in shape while they bake. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes, until shells are warmed. Allow to cool on racks fully, remove foil balls.
Dividing evenly, fill Copycat Taco Bell Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Taco shells with Copycat Taco Bell Seasoned Beef, lettuce, tomato, shredded cheese, and sour cream. Serve immediately.
