Heat the oil in a large skillet, it should be about 1-inch deep.
Let the oil heat over medium heat until shimmering. Toss a small piece of tortilla in the oil to test if it is hot enough. The oil should bubble around the tortilla.
Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
Put 2-3 tablespoons of taco filling in the corn tortilla. Do not overfill the tortillas.
Fold the tortilla in half and using the tongs, *carefully* place the taco on one side in the hot oil. Hold it in place briefly until you are certain it will stay put.
Add 2-3 tacos to the pan but don't overcrowd it.
Flip the tacos once they are golden brown on the side in the oil so the other side can cook.
Set the cooked taco on a paper towel lined plate to drain.
If you want to keep the tacos warm, preheat an oven to 200ºF and keep them in there until ready to eat.
