Taco Tuesday + Cinco De Mayo

5.05.2020

How perfect is it that Cinco de Mayo landed on a Tuesday?! In the words of Lebron James, "It's Taco Tueeeeesday!" With that said, to commemorate the holiday, I'm sharing with y'all a fun little, easy as ever, recipe of how Jeff makes his tacos! Now, I'm not a big taco lover like others are (maybe a taco salad though?!) but he's won me over with this recipe and it's changed the taco game for me!

The best part is that it's so easy and you most likely already have the ingredients in your pantry already.

Ingredients:
+ Flour tortillas
+ Your choice of meat
+ Tomatos, lime, onions, green onion, and cilantro
+ Avocados to make guacamole
+ Jalepenos
+ Green chili peppers

Directions for cooking the meat w/ sauce:
1. In a blender, blend up cilantro, green onions, onions, garlic, jalapeños, green chili peppers until it's in a paste form.
2. When the meat is 1/3 of the way cooked, add in the sauce and cook until the sauce is fully incorporated.



Honestly, so easy. Wash and dice the veggies as preferred. A portion of the veggies are used to top off the tacos later and another portion is used to cook in the meat.



The secret trick is to fry the flour tortillas...pretty sure that's a chalupa but I wouldn't know. Heat a small sauce pan with oils and hold the tortilla "folded" with a tong until one side is browned and then repeat for the other side. We kept them in the oven just to keep them warm, but they're great for serving right away!


Et voila! There's really nothing to it! Enjoy!

Heaven
