These hearty beef tacos will be a welcome addition to your
family's "Taco Night”.
Reminiscent of the classic "taco dinner in a box,"
this version leaves room for improvisation. Add more or less chili powder or
spice things up with a dash of hot sauce, a pinch of cayenne or more jalapenos.
Ingredients:
·
1 pound ground beef
·
1 tablespoon olive oil
·
1 teaspoon white vinegar
·
1 cup chopped onion (about 1/2 a medium onion)
·
8 small flour tortillas, warmed
·
1 garlic clove, minced
·
1 tablespoon minced jalapeno
·
Shredded iceberg lettuce, for the topping
·
3 tablespoons tomato paste
·
3 tablespoons chili powder
·
2 teaspoons dried oregano
·
1/3 cup water
·
Salsa, for the topping
·
Cilantro, for the topping
·
Sliced radishes, for the topping
·
Avocado, for the topping
·
Sour cream, for the topping
·
Shredded cheese, for the topping
Preparation:
1.
Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over
medium-high. Add onion, garlic, jalapeno and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring
occasionally, until vegetables are softened, about 4 minutes (do not let
brown). Crumble in the beef and cook, using a wooden spoon to break up lumps,
until meat is no longer pink, about 6 minutes.
2.
Add tomato paste, chili powder, oregano, salt
and water. Bring to a simmer; reduce heat to medium low, and cook, stirring
occasionally, until taco filling is heated through. Remove from heat and stir
in vinegar.
3.
Spoon a scant 1/3 cup taco filling into each
tortilla and serve with desired toppings.
Happy Cooking ☺
