El Matador Ingredients

Preparation

El Matador Preparation

1. Cook the Meat

In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the ground beef and chorizo sausage. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking up the meat with a spatula.

2. Add Vegetables

Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

3. Season the Mixture

Stir in the diced tomatoes, taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

4. Prepare Tortillas

While the meat mixture is simmering, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.

5. Assemble the Tacos

Spoon the meat mixture onto each tortilla. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and chopped cilantro.

6. Serve

Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
