Method

Taco Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Spices

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Then add the ground beef, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Warm Taco Shells

    While the beef is cooking, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place taco shells on a baking sheet and warm them in the oven for about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Assemble Tacos

    Once the beef is ready, fill each taco shell with the beef mixture and set aside.

Guacamole

  1. 5

    Prepare the Avocados

    In a bowl, scoop the flesh of the ripe avocados and mash them with a fork until smooth.

  2. 6

    Mix Ingredients

    Add lime juice, minced garlic, salt, chopped cilantro, and diced tomato to the mashed avocados. Stir until well combined.

  3. 7

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the guacamole and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice to taste.

Chips

  1. 8

    Serve Chips

    Open the bag of tortilla chips and place them in a serving bowl.
