When @Violet Witchel comes over to cook with me :) #tacos #tacotuesday #beeftacos Makes 4 servings (2 tacos each) 2 tb olive oil 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced 3 cloves garlic, mashed 1 pound ground beef (I used 90/10) 3 tb taco seasoning (1 tb cumin, 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, 2 tsp oregano, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp ground black pepper) 1 (4.5oz can) chopped green chilis 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped 1 1/2 cups shredded mexican cheese, divided 1 lime, juiced 8 very soft corn tortillas (wrap in damp towels and microwave for 1 min to make soft and pliable) For serving: Guacamole Preheat oven to 400F. Add the olive oil to a pan over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions begin to soften. Next, add the beef, taco seasoning and green chilis, and use a spoon to break down the beef into crumbles. Cook until the meat has completely browned and cooked through. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the cilantro, 1 cup of the cheese and the lime juice. Stir until completely everything is incorporate and cheese has melted. Next, wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 1 minute. You want the tortillas to be as soft and pliable as possible so they don’t break, and if they aren’t soft and pliable after one minute, then dampen the paper towel more and microwave for 30 seconds more. Get out a baking sheet. Working quickly, fill each tortilla with a scoop of the meat mixture and add a sprinkle of remaining cheese on top and gently close each taco, making sure that the tortilla doesn’t break. If needed, take a spoon or other light object and place it on top of the taco to hold it closed. Place the tacos in the oven and bake for 10 minutes; then broil for 2 minutes more so the tortillas get golden and crisp. Remove the tray from the oven, garnish with extra cilantro and serve with guacamole.
