Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Season the Beef

    Stir in salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until well combined and heated through.

    Make the Smoked Tomato Pico

    Dice the smoked tomatoes and combine them in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Prepare the Kale Slaw

    Thinly slice the kale and toss it in a bowl. Drizzle with a little olive oil and salt, and massage it gently until it softens.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Tacos

    In each crispy corn shell, add a portion of seasoned ground beef, followed by smoked tomato pico, kale slaw, jalapenos, pickled onions, and a drizzle of Mexican crema. Top with queso cotija.
