Ingredients
For the filling
- 1 lb ground beef Lean ground beef is recommended for better flavor.
- 1 onion, chopped A medium onion works well.
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp chili powder Adjust according to spice preference.
- 1 tsp cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
For assembling tacos
- 8 pieces corn tortillas Fresh tortillas are preferred.
- Oil for frying Enough to cover the bottom of the pan.
Toppings
- lettuce Shredded.
- cheese Shredded or crumbled.
- salsa
- avocado Sliced or diced.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a skillet, cook the ground beef with the chopped onion and minced garlic until the beef is browned.
- Add chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well so the flavors blend.
Cooking
- Heat oil in a separate pan. You want it hot enough for frying.
- Take the corn tortillas and fill them with the beef mixture, then fold each tortilla in half.
- Fry each taco in the hot oil until they are crispy and golden brown, which usually takes a few minutes on each side.
- Once done, drain the tacos on paper towels to remove extra oil.
Serving
- Serve the tacos warm with your choice of toppings like lettuce, cheese, salsa, and avocado.
Notes
For best results, do not overcrowd the pan when frying to keep oil temperature high for crispy tacos. Consider baking instead of frying for a lighter version.
