Toppings
Taco Shells
1. Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, and salt. Gradually add water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.
2. Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
3. Rest the Dough
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
4. Shape the Shells
Divide the dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). Roll each ball out into a thin circle.
5. Cook the Shells
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for about 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Keep warm.
Filling
6. Brown the Beef
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
7. Add Aromatics
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
8. Season the Beef
Stir in chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for another minute.
9. Add Tomato Sauce
Pour in the tomato sauce and stir to combine. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
10. Add Cheese
Sprinkle shredded cheese over the beef mixture, cover, and let it melt for a few minutes.
Toppings
11. Prepare Toppings
While the beef filling is simmering, prepare the toppings by chopping the lettuce, dicing the tomatoes, and slicing the avocado.
12. Assemble Tacos
To assemble, take a taco shell and fill it with the beef mixture. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, avocado slices, and chopped cilantro.
