Method

Taco Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Meat

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Season the Meat

    Add the ground beef or chicken to the skillet. Break it up with a spatula and cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Stir in cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to combine flavors.

Homemade Green Taco Sauce Preparation

  1. 3

    Blend the Sauce

    In a blender, combine tomatillos, jalapeño, minced garlic, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Taco Assembly

  1. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the soft corn tortillas on a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side. Place a generous amount of the meat filling in the center of each tortilla.

  2. 5

    Top and Serve

    Drizzle with the homemade green taco sauce, sprinkle with chopped cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
