Techniques
- ½ whole diced white onion
- 2 lb lean ground beef
Saute the diced white onion a couple of minutes, then add the ground beef.
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp black pepper
- salt
Season with the garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, cumin, chili powder, paprika, cayenne, black pepper and salt; break the meat down and cook about seven minutes.
Taste for salt, reduce the heat to medium and push the meat to the side so the grease pools in the middle.
Thickening and making it cheesy
- 2 oz cream cheese
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ⅓ cup salsa
- ½ cup cheese
Push the meat aside again, melt the cream cheese in, then stir in the sour cream, salsa and cheese.
- 3¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 1¼ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 12 tbsp cold butter
Mix the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar by hand, then crumble in the cold butter.
- 1¼ cup cold water
Add the cold water and mix until the flour is completely hydrated and sticky, adding a little more water slowly if needed.
Knead three to five minutes, until it no longer sticks to your hand, then wrap in plastic and let it sit.
- cheese
- frittles
Flatten a ball, add cheese, then the meat, then more cheese, then the corn chips.
Stuffing and sealing the bombs
Bring the sides together, then the other sides, then the corners; flip it over and turn it to secure the bottom.
- melted butter
Set them on a greased baking sheet and brush with melted butter mixed with garlic salt.
