Puffy Tacos are San Antonio’s gift to mankind.

If you are from out of state, even out of town, you may not have heard of this dish. To quickly explain, it is almost like if a corn tortilla and hard shell had a beautiful baby. When the oil cooks the masa, it puffs up…i.e. puffy taco.

There are several San Antonio, or surrounding area, dishes that have not made it beyond city that are absolutely delicious. This is one of them. These tacos are unique. If it was up to me, instead of our local MiLB team being called the Missions, I would call them the Puffy Tacos. But tomato tomatoe.

If you love tacos, you need to give this recipe a try. It is a little more labor intensive, but it will be worth it.

These tacos lasted 2 minutes in my house, so I hope your family loves them as much as mine. Enjoy!

Equipment

Ingredients

Puffy Taco Shells

  • 2 C masa harina (flour)
  • 1/2 tsp salt extra to sprinkle with after
  • 1 1/4 C lukewarm water
  • vegetable oil for frying

Dove Filling

  • 2 T vegetable oil
  • 12 doves breasts ground
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Serve with:

Instructions

Puffy Tacos:

  • In a deep frying pan, and an inch of vegetable oil.
  • Heat to 350°F-375°F.
  • While oil is heating up, combine masa flour, salt, and lukewarm water in a bowl.
  • Divide the mixture into 16 equal balls.
  • Flatten to 1/8 inch thick circles.
  • Once oil is heated to 350°F, place one of the masa circles in the oil.
  • Once the taco floats, let cook for an additional 10 seconds, then flip it over.
  • With a spatula, gently push the middle of the taco in to create an indention, or "taco shape".
  • Once the taco holds it shape, I like to turn it on its side in the oil and push down gently. This creates a steeper v in the taco shape.
  • Cook until golden.
  • Remove from oil and set upside down on a paper towel lined plate. This will allow all of the oil to drain off. Sprinkle with salt.
  • Repeat with remaining dough.

Meat Filling:

  • Heat oil over medium-high heat.
  • Once oil is hot, add meat and seasonings.
  • Combine until well mixed.
  • Cook until brown (5-10 minutes depending on how hot your skillet is).
  • Assemble your tacos and enjoy!

You will live and breathe for this Philly Cheese Dove Sandwich (Sammich).

As Jase Robertson said on Duck Dynasty…dove really is the filet mignon of the sky. Knowing this and with steak on my mind, the first thing that popped into my head was, of course, Philly cheesesteaks. This is a recipe I had been kicking around for a while, but hadn’t landed on the meat I wanted to try with it. Having been given the opportunity to go hunt some land here in San Antonio for doves, the recipe seemed to slide into place. Dove was the perfect meat.

BOY WAS IT. This recipe is darn tootin’ good. It is straightforward and requires little preparation. Who doesn’t love an easy and quick recipe? Plus, if you didn’t have a great day in the field, this recipe requires less than your 15 dove limit. It also doubles as a great appetizer if you don’t want to use the same old dove popper recipe you have been using for years… just cut the bread into slices and serve them up!

I hope y’all love this recipe as much as we did! Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 10 dove breasts slightly frozen
  • 1-1.5 T garlic pepper depending on how strong of a flavor you want
  • 3 T Worcestershire sauce
  • 10 slices white American cheese
  • 5 T salted butter
  • 2 green bell peppers thinly sliced
  • 1/2 yellow onion thinly sliced
  • sub bread I used white bolillos from HEB

Instructions

  • Preheat your grill and a cast iron skillet to medium heat.
  • Slice your dove breasts thinly. I used a mandolin to get 1/8 to 1/4 inch slices, but you can use a knife. If you use a mandolin, I find it best to leave the dove slightly frozen.
  • Thinly slice your green bell peppers and onions.
  • Melt 2T of butter on your skillet and pour your vegetables in. Cook for 20 minutes stirring occasionally.
  • Add your Worcestershire sauce and stir.
  • Add your sliced dove breasts to the skillet and stir.
  • Add garlic pepper and stir well.
  • Cook dove and veggies for an additional ~7 minutes stirring occasionally. The breasts should still be slightly pink on the inside.
  • Cover the meat and veggies with slices of white American cheese.
  • Close your grill for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese becomes melty.
  • Using ~3T of butter, butter your bread and toast them for around a minute or until desired crispiness.
  • Place meat mixture on bread. Enjoy!
