How to make Mexican Beef Tacos:
In order to eat some delicious Mexican tacos, the first thing we must do is make the dough for the tortillas. Then, mix the flour with the water and knead.
The correct proportion is 1 and a half cups of water for every two cups of flour, although a little more water may be required depending on the type of flour used. Knead until you get a homogeneous and smooth dough. Make medium-sized balls and flatten with a rolling pin or iron, leaving circular tortillas with a thickness of approximately 1 cm. To cook the tortillas, they are placed on the hot griddle or pan and we turn them every 30 seconds, at least 3 times, until they are gently browned. Remove and place on a napkin. Before assembling the Mexican tacos, we must have the ground beef ready. In this case we have browned it seasoning with chives, garlic and spices.
Besides, we must also prepare the lettuce and tomato salad with basil, salt, pepper, vinegar, oil, mustard and a touch of sugar. To assemble our Mexican meat tacos, we simply spread the tortilla, place the meat, the salad and finish with a good portion of grated cheese.
You can also accompany with a little Pico de Gallo or make more varieties of tacos, such as the famous tacos al pastor. Bon Appetite!
