The Best Tacos
The absolute BEST tacos you’ve ever had! Easy and quick to make, incredibly juicy. And it only takes 25 minutes from prep to plate!
- Prep Time: 10
- Cook Time: 15
- Total Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef 70-80% lean*
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp dried Mexican oregano
- ¼ tsp granulated garlic
- ¼ tsp granulated onion
- ½ cup tomato sauce
- 8 corn tortillas
Instructions
- Cook Ground Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef. Break the beef up with a wooden spoon while cooking. Cook the ground beef fully, until browned and no longer pink.
- Drain: Drain any excess grease from the skillet. Then return to the stove and reduce the heat to low.
- Season: Add the 1/2 cup tomato sauce, stir together until the meat is coated in the sauce.
- Simmer: Allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
- Fry Tortillas: Pour 1/2 cup oil in a medium size skillet, heat over medium high heat. Carefully dip a tortilla, if the oil sizzles and bubbles then it’s hot enough. Gently lay the tortilla in the oil and fry each side for about 30 seconds, just enough to give some color and add some crispness.
- Shape Tortillas: Remove the tortilla to a paper towel to absorb oil, and carefully fold the tortilla over to create a taco shape. I do this with my tongs, or two forks, whatever I’m using to lay the tortillas in the oil and remove them.
- Toppings: Fill the tortillas with meat and your choice of toppings!
Notes
Make sure you don’t dry out the meat when cooking it
