Taco Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare Tinga Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, cooking until translucent. Add shredded chicken, chipotle peppers, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook for about 15 minutes until well combined.

  2. 2

    Cook Ground Beef

    In another skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon. Season with salt and pepper, cooking until browned, about 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare Carnitas

    In a slow cooker, place the pork shoulder, season with salt, and cook on low for 8 hours. Shred the meat and mix with some of the cooking juices.

  4. 4

    Make Corn Tortillas

    In a bowl, mix masa harina with warm water until a dough forms. Divide into balls and press each ball into a tortilla shape. Cook on a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly browned.

  5. 5

    Assemble Tacos

    Warm corn tortillas on a skillet. Fill with your choice of tinga chicken, ground beef, or carnitas. Top with slices of avocado, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
