Taco Recipes
 
Tortilla Tacos
 
Ingredients
  • 2 cups Beef (shredded)

  • 12 Corn Tortillas

  • 1/2 cup Corn or Canola Oil (if soft Tacos aren’t fried)

  • 2 cups Chihuahua or Jack Cheese (grated)

  • 1 Tomato (diced)

  • 1 bunch Green Onions (chopped)

  • 1/2 head Lettuce or Cabbage (shredded)

  • 1 cup Salsa Mexicana and/or Salsa Verde

 
Method
  • If the tacos are to be fried, heat some oil in a pan and cook tortillas lightly on one side. Turn and fry lightly on the other side as well.

  • Bend the tortilla in half before it becomes crisp and. Now, hold it steady and crisp the folded end.

  • Remove the tortillas from oil and drain on paper towel. Repeat the procedure with the rest 11 tortillas as well.

  • Heat the beef until it starts steaming and place one to two tablespoons of it as the filling inside a taco shell. 

  • Add shredded lettuce, onions, tomatoes and top with cheese. Repeat for all tacos. Now, serve immediately. 

  • For soft tacos, heat tortillas in the oven or microwave until hot and bendable.

  • Fold and fill in the same way as fried tacos. If your tacos seem inclined to fall apart, use two tortillas to double the strength.

  • Serve immediately.

 
Hard Shell Tacos In Buffet Style
 
Ingredients
  • 1 pack Hamburger Meat

  • 1 pack Hard-shell Tacos

  • 2 cups Cheddar Cheese (grated)

  • 1 Tomato (diced)

  • 1 bunch Green Onions (chopped)

  • 1/2 head Lettuce (shredded)

  • 1 container Salsa

  • 1 Guacamole

  • 1 can Black Olives (sliced)

  • Sour Cream

  • 1 pack Taco Seasoning Mix

 
Method
  • Put hamburger meat in a pan and cook it thoroughly. Then, drain the released fat into a metal container.

  • Now, add a cup of water and taco seasoning mix to the pan and let it simmer for a few minutes.

  • Heat up taco shells in the oven, on low temperature. They are to be used while serving.

  • Now, all you need to do is pull taco shells from oven and put them on a plate.

  • Take out the seasoning mixture in a bowl. Put lettuce, cheddar cheese, onions, tomatoes, and olives into separate bowls.

  • Arrange all the bowls on the table, along with containers of salsa/sour cream and guacamole.

  • Let everyone dish up the tacos the way they want and enjoy!

 
Some Useful Tips
  • Use corn tortillas instead of wheat tortillas, while making tacos, as the former taste better.

  • Tacos with potato tots or pieces of potatoes in them can be a good option to explore.

  • Use a variety of ingredients for taco filling, according to everyone’s taste. You might like one variety, while others may have a different choice

  • Don’t use stored tortillas for making tacos. Whenever you plan to make tacos, get fresh corn tortillas from the market, for that exquisite taste.
