Tacos Ingredients

Method

Tacos Directions

1

Prepare the Filet Mignon

Season the filet mignon with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

2

Cook the Filet Mignon

Sear the filet mignon in the hot skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.

3

Slice the Filet Mignon

Once rested, slice the filet mignon thinly against the grain.

4

Warm the Tortillas

In a separate skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.

5

Prepare the Avocado

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice it into thin pieces.

6

Assemble the Tacos

Place a few slices of filet mignon on each tortilla. Top with salsa macha, avocado slices, pickled red onions, micro-cilantro, and a scoop of chile piquín black beans.

7

Serve

Serve the tacos warm with a side of Mexican rice.
