Game Night *Tacos*
NOW I'm not testing my cooking abilities with the tacos for that they are extremely simple and there is nothing much to it! Tacos are fun, and easy especially when everyone gets to build their own. We usually have them when we have friends over on Big Game Nights like this Saturday.
For those who don't eat it much, start doing it at home because its a fun dish
To prepare you need a Big Trip to the supermarket, its not easy having all the ingredients in the house
Ingredients:
1/2 ground meat
1 pack old el paso hard taco shells
1 avocado
1 sour cream
2 onions
handful lettuce
3 tomatoes
1 bag of shredded Cheddar cheese
salsa
Directions:
2 ways the easy and MY WAY
Easy:
Brown ground beef in a medium skillet over medium heat. Make sure to drain out the fat. When ground beef is cooked then add the taco mix and the water. Mix it up all together.Bring to a boil. Then reduce heat and let it simmer make sure you uncover. Cook about 15 to 20 minutes stirring occasionally. With it uncover it should come nice and brown that is what you want.
My Way:
Brown the 1/2 kilo ground beef in a medium skillet over medium heat. Make sure to drain out the fat, add 3 cloves of fresh garlic, and spices1/2tsp black pepper,1/2 tsp ginger,pinch of salt, 1/2 tsp cumin powder and mix. In another pan you add oil and fry the 2 chopped onions and 1 clove garlic, 2 fresh diced tomato's and 2tbsp tomato paste stir and simmer with the meat and let it cook, then add 1 glass of water, cover and let it cook 15- 20 min stirring occasionally until its brown and has some sauce to it on low fire..
Put taco shell's into oven on low heat, this is just to heat up shell's to serve.
Then when finish get your taco shells spread with sour cream, ground meet,then top it with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and the grated cheese, a little of mild or hot salsa and a couple of jalapenos if you like it spicy, mix in the taco shell how much you like.
Be creative! I like everything on my taco!
Guacamole
Cut avocados in half, remove the seed, scoop out avocado from the peel, put in a mixing bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork add the chopped onion, cilantro, lime or lemon, salt and pepper and mash some more. Add the diced tomato when about to serve :)
muy delicioso !!
