Today's favorite recipe is Tacos.
What? What is so special about tacos?
Well this past Monday I made a homemade beef mixture. No more overpriced processed salt filled packets. And I made the taco shells. So easy and so much better than the stale boxed shells from the store.
Beef Tacos
1 lb lean ground beef
1 small onion,minced
3 garlic cloves,minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup smooth tomato sauce
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
Brown beef, drain off excess grease. Stir in onion,garlic,spices. Cook until soft. Add remaining ingredients;simmer until thickened about 10 minutes.
Taco Shells
3/4 cup oil
12 6 inch corn tortillas
In a small skillet,heat 3/4 cup oil over medium heat to 350 degrees. Using tongs to hold the tortilla,slip half of it into the hot oil. With a metal spatula in the other hand,submerge the half in the oil. Fry until set,but not brown,about 39 seconds. Flip the tortilla. Using the tongs,hold the tortilla open about 2 inches while keeping the bottom submerged in the oil. Fry until golden brown. Flip again and fry the other side until golden brown. Transfer the shell upside down to a paper towel lined baking sheet to drain. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
To assemble tacos, fill each shell with meat mixture, top with cheese,shredded lettuce,sour cream and salsa.
Enjoy!
