Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Meat

Chop the beef, pork, chicken, or beef tongue into small pieces. Season with salt and pepper.

2

Sauté the Onions

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are translucent.

3

Cook the Meat

Add the meat to the skillet with the onions. Cook until the meat is browned and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4

Add Cilantro

Chop the cilantro and add it to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

5

Warm the Tortillas

In a separate pan, warm the corn tortillas over low heat until pliable.

6

Assemble the Tacos

Place a generous amount of the meat mixture on each tortilla. Squeeze lime juice over the top and serve immediately.
