Method
Cook the Meat
Brown the Ground Beef
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until it is browned and no longer pink.
Add Seasonings
Once the beef is browned, drain excess fat if necessary. Stir in red chile powder, green chile sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
Prepare Toppings
Chop Vegetables
While the beef is simmering, rinse and chop the lettuce, dice the tomato, and set aside.
Shred Cheese
Grate the sharp cheddar and jack cheese, and combine them in a bowl.
Assemble Tacos
Fill Taco Shells
Take a taco shell and fill it with a generous amount of the seasoned ground beef mixture.
Add Toppings
Top the beef with shredded lettuce, a handful of cheese, diced tomatoes, and drizzle with taco sauce to taste.
Serve
Arrange the filled tacos on a serving plate and enjoy your Tacos Americana!
