Healthy Tacos





Mexican Beef





1 1/2 lbs ground sirloin or ground beef


1 yellow onion, finely chopped


3 tablespoons vegetable oil


3 or 4 cloves of garlic, minced


2 1/4 tsp. ground cumin


3 tablespoons oregano leaves


1 cup tomatoe sauce


1 1/2 tsp. salt





This mexican beef recipe is an all time favorite.


If you use ground sirloin instead of ground beef your meat will stay chunkier.


Ground beef will break down into smaller pieces.


It just depends on how you like it.


You can use either one.





Once you have made this mexican beef recipe, you can use it in a number of my other mexican recipes like beef enchiladas, burritos, chili beans, tacos, quesadillas, tostadas and tamale pie.





So let's get started.





1 1/2 lbs ground sirloin or ground beef


1 yellow onion, finely chopped


3 tablespoons vegetable oil


3 or 4 cloves of garlic, minced


2 1/4 tsp. ground cumin


3 tablespoons oregano leaves


1 cup tomatoe sauce


1 1/2 tsp. salt





Take a large frying pan, nonstick preferred.


Heat the oil over medium low heat. Add the onion and saute for 3 to 4 minutes.





Add:





1 1/2 lbs. ground sirloin or ground beef


1 1/2 tsp. salt





Cook the beef over medium heat until almost done.


Add 3 or 4 cloves of minced garlic depending on your tolerance and desire for its taste. 3 cloves will be subtle in flavor.


Cook an additional 3 minutes.





Add:





2 1/4 tsp. ground cumin


1 cup tomatoe sauce





In a blender add:





3/4 cup water


1/4 cup oregano leaves





Blend for 10 seconds and pour onto the meat.





Cook for 10 minutes and lower heat to simmer for 10 minutes





Tacos





Hold two taco shells up on a plate with one hand.





With a slotted spoon, scoop up and drain


some of the hot mexican beef and put it into the taco shells.





This taco recipe is perfect served with refried beans and rice.


And some lettuce, tomatoes and shredded cheese,if you wish


Let's not forget to add a little salsa too!

JUST HEAT TORTILLAS, AND PUT INSIDE MEAT, CHICKEN BREAST, BEANS, SHRIMPS, EGGS, ADD SOME HOT SAUCE, AND OF COURSE ';';GUACAMOLE';';





GUACAMOLE:





AVOCADO, TOMATOE(SLICED IN SQUARE), UNION,CHILE VERDE,LIIME,SALT AND READY!!!!!!!!!!





I HOPE YOU COULD UNDERSTAND MY TERRIBLE ENGLISH.
ok. heres one





NO - FRYING TACOS





1/2 lb. very lean ground beef


1/2 lb. ground turkey


1/4 c. green onions, chopped


1 1/2 c. tomato sauce


1 (3 to 4 oz.) can green chilies, diced


1/2 tsp. ground cumin


1/2 tsp. garlic powder


1 to 2 tsp. chili powder


10 to 12 corn tortillas


Garnishes: Shredded lettuce, shredded zucchini, chopped green onion, chopped mushrooms, chopped tomatoes, grated cheese





Brown meat in non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Drain fat. Add onions and cook until limp. Add remaining ingredients except tortillas. Simmer uncovered 15 to 20 minutes. To prepare taco shells, preheat oven to 375 degrees. If tortillas have been in the refrigerator allow them to come to room temperature to prevent cracking. Loosely fold a limp tortilla over two rods of the oven rack so that it hangs down in the shape of a finished taco shell. Heat 3 to 4 minutes for a soft shell or 5 to 7 minutes for a crisp one. Fill taco shells with meat mixture and pass the garnishes. Makes 6 servings.
