Tacos Acorazados

[Alberta Louise]

Acorazados means armoured in Spanish. The tortilla is double to prevent any seepage. First add rice. Next top with guisado (stew) then wrap a second time. "Make mine a double". There are three steps to assembling your Tacos Acorrazado. The three amigos are: Prepare rice, prepare guisado (the stew part, in this case chorizo) and lastly assemble.
