Comments: Definately use a flour/water paste to seal them. My kids don't like really spicy things,so I used one package of seasoning to 2 lbs of beef. Cheddar or Taco cheese works best. Use lots of paper towels to sop up the frying oil. Even my picky child ate them!! I mixed sour cream and salsa to make a dip for them, it was great.
great food

Comments: i made these for dinner 1 night & everyone liked them so much, they keep asking me when i'm gonna make them again. the only bad thing is that i couldn't get the flour tortilla to stay closed when it was in oil. otherwise it's great!

Comments: These were great! My family loved them! I also took one of the lady's advice and made chicken. My sons liked the chicken more and my husband and I liked the beef. So, I will make both again!! Thanks.

Comments: Great also if you add refried beans first, then beef, then cheese(green chiles too!) Then, make a paste of water and flour and brush on folds to "act as paste" to seal folds!
