Method

Slow Braised Beef

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Season 500 grams of beef with salt and pepper. In a pot, sear the beef on all sides until browned. Add onions and enough water or broth to cover the meat. Cover and braise on low heat for 3-4 hours until tender.

    Once the beef is tender, remove it from the pot, shred it with two forks, and mix it back with the juices.

Guacamole

    Prepare the Avocados

    Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork until creamy.

  2. 4

    Mix Ingredients

    Add lime juice, diced tomatoes, minced garlic, and salt to the mashed avocados. Mix until well combined.

Lime Mayo

    Prepare the Lime Mayo

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, lime zest, and lime juice. Mix until smooth and set aside.

Whipped Queso Fresco

    Whip the Queso Fresco

    In a mixing bowl, combine queso fresco and heavy cream. Whip until smooth and fluffy.

Charred Corn

  1. 7

    Char the Corn

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil, and corn kernels. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the corn is charred. Add salt to taste.

Assemble the Tacos

    Prepare the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Start layering the shredded beef, guacamole, lime mayo, charred corn, whipped queso fresco, diced onions, and cilantro on each tortilla.
