Bad Boy Beef Tacos
- Cuisine: German
Ingredients
Units Scale
- oil (for frying)
- 1 onion (chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- salt and pepper
- 8 flour tortillas or taco shells
- Garnishes
- refried beans
- shredded lettuce
- chopped tomatoes
- grated Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese
- chopped jalapeno chilies
- bottled hot sauce
- guacamole
- sour cream or homemade Ranch dressing
Instructions
- In a large skillet, pour in some oil and gently cook the onion for about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and meat to the onion and fry for a few minutes. Add the spices and herbs with salt and pepper to taste, and mix well, continuing to fry until the meat is fully cooked. Drain and keep warm.
- If you are using tortillas, wrap them in tin foil and warm in a low oven for a few minutes until soft.
- Spread beans on the tortilla and spoon some of the meat mixture on top of the beans. Put the “drier” items on first, followed by the “wetter” ones. Fold the tortilla over and eat. It is important not to overfill the tortillas or it all falls apart.
- If you are using taco shells, follow the same procedure (except for the folding bit) and caution. The most interesting way to eat these is to vary the toppings so that each taco is a new taste sensation.
- Serve with Mexican rice, beans and rice or black beans and a beer.
