Mexican style beef tacos

Taken from here

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • kosher salt and black pepper
  • 12 corn tortillas, warmed
  • 1/2 head small green cabbage, shredded
  • 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro sprigs
  • hot sauce (optional)

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until beginning to soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Stir in beef, parsley, tomato paste, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
  4. Fill each tortilla with the meat mixture, cabbage, tomatoes, and cilantro. Serve with the hot sauce, if desired.


Tacos are one of my favourite savoury dishes. They're easy to make and incredibly versatile in terms of fillings. The meat doesn't have to be beef, chicken is also acceptable and even vegetarian options like mexican beans can also serve as a delicious filling. There's also a choice between hard and soft tortillas. Personally I prefer hard tortilla shells because I enjoy the crunch. Tacos are a great accompaniment to any evening.
