Taco Ingredients

12 pieces Corn tortillas

1 pound Ground beef or chicken

1 medium Onion, chopped

2 cloves Garlic, minced

1 tablespoon Chili powder

1 teaspoon Ground cumin

1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt

1 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped

Method

Preparation

Cook the Meat

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef or chicken. Cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned.

Add Aromatics

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

Season the Mixture

Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the spices to blend with the meat.

Warm the Tortillas

While the meat is cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.

Assemble the Tacos

To assemble, place a portion of the meat mixture on each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cheese, and a dollop of sour cream. Garnish with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.

Serve

Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side.
